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

Immunosuppressive states with accompanying alterations in cytokine profiles have been postulated to play a vital role in the reactivation of viruses from latency. Cytokines regulate gene expression by activating transcription factors via well-characterized signal transduction pathways. In this study, we report the identification of a novel inducible protein, GBP-i, that binds to a double-stranded GGA/C-rich region of the transcriptional control region of the human papovavirus JC virus (JCV), specifically within the origin of viral DNA replication. GBP-i is distinct from previously characterized GC-box-binding proteins with respect to both its sequence specificity and its electrophoretic mobility on native and denaturing gels. GBP-i responds within 90 min to phorbol myristate acetate stimulation; however, unlike typical phorbol myristate acetate-inducible factors, this rapid induction is regulated primarily at the transcriptional level. Further, the induction of GBP-i appears to be widespread and mediated by many inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, gamma interferon, and transforming growth factor beta. Interestingly, the induced protein acts as a transcriptional repressor in its native context in the JCVL promoter. However, when its binding sequence is transposed to a heterologous promoter, GBP-i appears to function as a transcriptional activator. The data presented here suggest a role for GBP-i in cytokine-mediated induction of viral and cellular genes.
