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

We have previously shown that repression of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) major immediate early (IE) gene expression in non-permissive human teratocarcinoma (T2) cells is associated with a number of nuclear factors which bind to the imperfect dyad symmetry located in the modulator region upstream of the major IE enhancer as well as to the 21 bp repeat elements within the enhancer. Differentiation of T2 cells with retinoic acid (RA) results in a decrease in binding of some of these nuclear factors to these sites and deletion of these specific binding sites from major IE promoter/reporter constructs results in increased IE promoter activity in normally non-permissive cells. In this study, we demonstrate that the transcription factor YY1, which can negatively regulate the adeno-associated virus P5 promoter, directly binds to both the imperfect dyad symmetry and the 21 bp repeat elements in the HCMV major IE promoter/regulatory region and mediates repression of HCMV IE gene expression. This strongly suggests that YY1 plays an important role in regulating HCMV expression in non-permissive cells.
