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

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the etiology of approximately 5% of all cancers worldwide, including cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal malignancies. HPV E6 is a multifunctional oncoprotein that drives tumorigenesis and is best known for bridging the ubiquitin ligase E6AP (UBE3A) and p53 into a complex that leads to proteasome mediated destruction of p53. We developed small molecule inhibitors that covalently bind to cysteine-51 (Cys-51) in HPV16 E6. In HPV16-positive cancer cells, these compounds increase p53 protein levels and activate p53-dependent transcriptional programs associated with apoptosis and senescence, resulting in reduced tumor cell viability.
