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

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is etiologically associated with several cancers including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease. KSHV-mediated pathogenesis is dependent mainly on KSHV infection as well as on the microenvironment provided by the growth factors (GFs)/inflammatory cytokines (ICs). Recently, we determined that oncoprotein Raf enhances KSHV infection of target cells. Interestingly, Raf regulates the expression of a variety of GFs/ICs including those involved in angiogenesis such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this review, we discuss the effect of the Raf-GF/IC autocrine/paracrine loop on KSHV infection of both hematopoietic and nonhematopietic cells, and associated disease conditions.
