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

Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (Tag) is a promiscuous transcriptional transactivator; however, its mechanism of transactivation remains unknown. Recent studies have suggested the possible involvement of protein-protein interactions with TBP, the TATA box-binding protein of TFIID, and TEF-1, an enhancer-binding factor. We show here that (i) the Tag domain containing amino acids 133 to 249 directly interacts with the general transcription factor TFIIB, the activator protein Sp1, and the 140-kDa subunit of RNA polymerase II, as well as with TBP and TEF-1; (ii) these interactions can also occur when these transcription factors are present in their functional states in cellular extracts; (iii) binding of Tag to TBP is eliminated by preincubation of TBP either at 48 degrees C or with the adenovirus 13S E1a protein; (iv) this domain of Tag cannot bind concurrently to more than one of these transcription factors; and (v) the substitution of Tag amino acid residues 173 and 174 inactivates the ability of this Tag domain both to associate with any of these transcription factors and to transactivate the SV40 late promoter. Thus, we conclude that SV40 Tag probably does not transactivate via the concurrent interaction with multiple components of the preinitiation complex. Rather, we hypothesize that transactivation by Tag may primarily occur by removing or preventing the binding of factors that inhibit the formation of preinitiation complexes.
