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

E2F transcription factors regulate expression of a panel of cellular genes that control cellular DNA synthesis and proliferation, either by activating or repressing their transcription, largely in a cell cycle-dependent manner. The ability of E2F proteins to regulate expression of these target genes is, in turn, regulated by other cellular proteins that are important for normal control of cell cycle progression. Together, E2F proteins, their target genes, and the proteins that regulate E2F activity comprise a genetic pathway that is probably the most, frequently altered pathway in human cancer. This review examines this genetic pathway and focuses on the role of E2F proteins in its function. Specifically, the target genes regulated by E2F, the likely mechanisms by which activation and repression of target gene transcription is achieved, and the regulation of E2F activity by other proteins in the cell, are discussed.
