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 reported on the cloning and characterization of chk-YB-2, a novel member of the Y-box family of proteins, that binds to the sequence 5'-GTACCACC-3' present on the noncoding strand of the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) long terminal repeat (LTR) in a single-strand-specific manner. Here, we demonstrate that deletion or mutation of this motif not only eliminates chk-YB-2 binding in vitro but also down-regulates RSV LTR-driven transcription in avian cells. Selective abrogation of chk-YB-2 expression by using antisense oligonucleotides decreased RSV LTR-driven transcription in a promoter-specific manner. This inhibition was not observed when a reporter construct with a deletion in the chk-YB-2 binding site was used. Depletion of cellular chk-YB-2 by transfecting the cells with excess of its recognition sequence oligonucleotides also resulted in reduced transcription from the RSV LTR. Taken together, these results suggest that chk-YB-2 acts as an activator of LTR-promoted transcription in avian cells and that this activation is mediated primarily through the sequence 5'-GTACCACC-3'.
