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

The E6 and E7 genes of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) associated with anogenital cancers are largely responsible for the oncogenic activity of these viruses, and regulation of these genes has been intensively studied. Transcription of the E6 and E7 genes is controlled by the viral upstream regulatory region (URR). We have used in vivo footprinting to examine the occupancy by regulatory factors of the HPV type 18 (HPV18) URR enhancer and promoter in the cervical carcinoma cell lines HeLa and C4-II. While corroborating occupancy in vivo of all of the elements previously implicated in the transcriptional control of the HPV18 E6 and E7 genes by in vitro DNase I footprinting, gel retardation assays, and transfection studies, we also detect occupancy in vivo of several enhancer and promoter sequences which have not been previously identified as HPV18 URR regulatory elements. Our data suggest that the HPV18 enhancer and promoter are more densely occupied by DNA-binding proteins than previously thought and raise the possibility that additional, possibly novel factors contribute to transcription of the HPV18 early genes.
