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

Polyomavirus middle-sized tumor antigen (MT) increases the expression of c-jun through a phorbol 12-O-tetradecanoate 13-acetate response element in the c-jun promoter. To investigate the cellular signaling pathways affected by MT, we studied the role of the c-Ras and Raf-1 proteins in MT-induced transactivation of c-jun and cell transformation. There was an increase in GTP complexed to Ras in MT-expressing cells, indicating an increase in Ras activity. Coexpression of dominant inhibitory mutants of Ha-ras and raf-1 with MT inhibited MT-mediated transactivation and focus formation. Studies of the phosphorylation of c-Jun showed that MT expression increased the phosphorylation of Ser-63 and Ser-73 in the transactivation domain and decreased the phosphorylation of a peptide containing Ser-243, Ser-249, and Thr-231 in the DNA binding domain. MT increased the transcriptional activating ability of c-Jun but failed to increase the transcriptional activating ability of c-Jun mutants with Ser-63 and Ser-73 changed to nonphosphorylatable Ala, indicating that MT modulates c-Jun activity through phosphorylation. The dominant inhibitory mutants of Ha-ras and raf-1 interfered with the ability of MT to activate c-Jun. The results indicate that MT induces a phosphorylation cascade through the activation of c-Ras and Raf-1 and that c-Jun is one of the downstream targets that may cause changes in gene expression leading to cell transformation.
