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

Progression through the cell cycle is dependent on the sequential expression of cyclins, which combine with cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) to form active kinases. The transition from G1 to S phase is dependent on D cyclins in complex with cdk4 or cdk6 and cyclin E complexed with cdk2. One target of G1 cyclins is the retinoblastoma susceptibility protein (Rb). Rb is a transcriptional repressor that is selectively targeted to genes through interaction with the E2F family of cell cycle transcription factors. Rb is a member of a family of proteins that include p107 and p130. The three proteins share a region known as the pocket that is important for binding E2F and is also the binding site for oncoproteins from DNA tumor viruses that inactivate Rb. We have found that two conserved domains within the Rb pocket (A and B) interact to form a transcriptional repressor motif (K. N. B. Chow and D. C. Dean, Mol. Cell. Biol. 16:4862-4868, 1996). Here we demonstrate that p107 also has an A-B repressor motif, and using domain swapping and coimmunoprecipitation assays, we compare A and B from Rb and p107. Finally and most importantly, we demonstrate that the A-B interaction which forms the repressor motif is blocked by G1 cdk phosphorylation, thereby blocking repressor activity. This A-B repressor motif is then the first example of a cdk-regulated transcriptional repressor.
