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 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) EBNA-LP protein is important for EBV-mediated B-cell immortalization and is a potent gene-specific coactivator of the viral transcriptional activator, EBNA2. The mechanism(s) by which EBNA-LP functions as a coactivator remains an important question in the biology of EBV-induced B-cell immortalization. In this study, we found that EBNA-LP interacts with the promyelocytic leukemia nuclear body (PML NB)-associated protein Sp100 and displaces Sp100 and heterochromatin protein 1alpha (HP1alpha) from PML NBs. Interaction between EBNA-LP and Sp100 was mediated through conserved region 3 in EBNA-LP and the PML NB targeting domain in Sp100. Overexpression of Sp100 lacking the N-terminal PML NB targeting domain, but not a mutant form of Sp100 lacking the HP1alpha interaction domain, was sufficient to coactivate EBNA2 in a gene-specific manner independent of EBNA-LP. These findings suggest that Sp100 is a major mediator of EBNA-LP coactivation. These studies indicate that modulation of PML NB-associated proteins may be important for establishment of latent viral infections, and also identify a convenient model system to investigate the functions of Sp100.
