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

Unregulated expression of the transcription factor E2F promotes the G1-to-S phase transition in cultured mammalian cells. However, there has been no direct evidence for an E2F requirement in this process. To demonstrate that E2F is obligatory for cell cycle progression, we attempted to inactivate E2F by overexpressing dominant-negative forms of one of its heterodimeric partners, DP-1. We dissected the functional domains of DP-1 and separated the region that facilitate heterodimer DNA binding from the E2F dimerization domain. Various DP-1 mutants were introduced into cells via transfection, and the cell cycle profile of the transfected cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of wild-type DP-1 or DP-1 mutants that bind to both DNA and E2F drove cells into S phase. In contrast, DP-1 mutants that retained E2F binding but lost DNA binding arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The DP-1 mutants that were unable to bind DNA resulted in transcriptionally inactive E2F complexes, suggesting that the G1 arrest is caused by formation of defective E2F heterodimers. Furthermore, the G1 arrest instigated by these DP-1 mutants could be rescued by coexpression of wild-type E2F or DP protein. These experiments define functional domains of DP and demonstrate a requirement for active E2F complexes in cell cycle progression.
