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

Regulation of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E6 promoter is a complex process in which transcriptional repression as well as activation plays an important role. Here, we identify a negative regulatory element that in the context of a continuous long control region fragment overcomes the activation of the HPV-16 enhancer. This silencing element, which we have termed a PSM (papillomavirus silencing motif), consists of two copies of the sequence 5'-TAYAATAAT-3' that overlap the origin of replication. Each copy of this 9-bp sequence binds the same unknown cellular factor, which we refer to as PSM-BP (PSM binding protein). Both copies of the binding sequence are required for transcriptional repression, and we provide evidence that suggests that this particular organization results in the stabilization of a PSM-BP dimer. The silencing motif, while functioning in either orientation, showed a positional requirement between the enhancer and the promoter. Experiments with both a heterologous enhancer and a promoter also demonstrated a general ability of this element to function as a transcriptional silencer in non-HPV systems. Our findings provide an important addition to our understanding of HPV-16 gene regulation and an interesting model for the study of transcriptional repression.
