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

A polyomavirus mutant isolated by the tumor host range selection procedure (19) has a three-amino-acid deletion (Delta2-4) in the common N terminus of the T antigens. To search for a cellular protein bound by wild-type but not the mutant T antigen(s), a yeast two-hybrid screen of a mouse embryo cDNA library was carried out with a bait of wild-type small T antigen (sT) fused N terminally to the DNA-binding domain of Gal4. TAZ, a transcriptional coactivator with a WW domain and PDZ-binding motif (17), was identified as a binding partner. TAZ bound in vivo to all three T antigens with different apparent affinities estimated as 1:7:100 (large T antigen [lT]:middle T antigen [mT]:sT). The Delta2-4 mutant T antigens showed no detectable binding. The sT and mT of the host range transformation-defective (hr-t) mutant NG59 with an alteration in the common sT/mT region (179 D-->NI) and a normal N terminus also failed to bind TAZ, while the unaltered lT bound but with reduced affinity compared to that seen in a wild-type virus infection. The WW domain but not the PDZ-binding motif of TAZ was essential for T antigen binding. The Delta2-4 mutant was defective in viral DNA replication. Forced overexpression of TAZ blocked wild-type DNA replication in a manner dependent on the binding site for the polyomavirus enhancer-binding protein 2alpha. Wild-type polyomavirus T antigens effectively block transactivation by TAZ. The functional significance of TAZ interactions with polyomavirus T antigens is discussed.
