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

To determine the mechanisms involved in the regulation of human cytomegalovirus early gene expression, we have examined the gene that encodes the viral DNA polymerase (UL54, pol). Our previous studies demonstrated that sequences required for activation of the pol promoter by immediate-early proteins are contained within a region from -128 to +20 and that cellular proteins can bind to this activation domain. In this study, we demonstrate by competition analysis that binding of cellular proteins to pol is associated with an 18-bp region containing a single copy of a novel inverted repeat, IR1. Time course analysis indicated that viral infection increased the level of protein binding to IR1, concurrent with the activation of the pol promoter. Mutation of the IR1 element abrogated binding of cellular factors to the pol promoter and reduced by threefold the activation by immediate-early proteins. Similarly, mutation of IR1 rendered the promoter poorly responsive to activation by viral infection. Mutation of additional sequence elements in the pol promoter had little effect, indicating that IR1 plays the major role in pol promoter regulation. These studies demonstrate that the interaction between cellular factors and IR1 is important for the regulation of expression of the polymerase gene by viral proteins.
