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 frequent expression of latent membrane proteins LMP2A and LMP2B in Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-associated tumors suggests that these proteins play a role in EBV-induced epithelial cell growth transformation. Expression of LMP2A and LMP2B had no effect on the morphology of squamous epithelial cells in monolayer culture, but their expression was associated with an increased capacity to spread and migrate on extracellular matrix. Although the mechanisms by which LMP2A and LMP2B promote cell spreading and motility are unclear, the use of selective pharmacological inhibitors has established a role for tyrosine kinases in this phenotype but ruled out contributions of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase, and protein kinase C. The ability of LMP2B to induce a phenotype that is virtually indistinguishable from that of LMP2A suggests that regions of the LMP2 protein in addition to the cytosolic amino terminus are capable of inducing phenotypic effects in epithelial cells. Thus, rather than serving to modulate the activity of LMP2A, LMP2B may directly engage signaling pathways to influence epithelial cell behavior such as cell adhesion and motility.
