1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In epithelial tumors, oncoprotein E6 binds with the ubiquitin ligase E6AP to form E6/E6AP heterodimer; then this heterodimer recruits p53 to form E6/E6AP/p53 heterotrimer and induces p53 degradation. Recent experiments demonstrated that three E6 single-site mutants (F47R, R102A, and L50E) can inhibit the E6/E6AP/p53 heterotrimer formation and rescue p53 from the degradation pathway. However, the molecular mechanism underlying mutation-induced heterotrimer inhibition remains largely elusive. Herein, we performed extensive molecular dynamics simulations (totally ∼13 μs) on both heterodimer and heterotrimer to elucidate at an atomic level how each p53-degradation-defective HPV16 E6 mutant reduces the structural stabilities of the two complexes. Our simulations reveal that the three E6 mutations destabilize the structure of E6/E6AP/p53 complex through distinct mechanisms. Although F47R
