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

backgroundDEAD/H box 5 (DDX5) serves as a transcriptional coactivator for several transcription factors including E2F1, the primary target of the tumor suppressor pRB. E2F1 physiologically activated by growth stimulation activates growth-related genes and promotes cell proliferation. In contrast, upon loss of pRB function due to oncogenic changes, E2F1 is activated out of restraint by pRB (deregulated E2F1) and stimulates tumor suppressor genes such as

objectiveWe thus examined whether the

methodFor this purpose, we performed promoter analysis and ChIP assay.

resultThe DDX5 promoter did not possess typical E2F binding consensus but contained several GC repeats observed in deregulated E2F1 targets. Insertion of point mutations in these GC repeats decreased responsiveness to deregulated E2F1 induced by over-expression of E2F1, but scarcely affected responsiveness to growth stimulation. ChIP assays showed that deregulated E2F1 induced by over-expression of E2F1 or expression of E1a, which binds pRB and releases E2F1, bound to the
