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 predominantly associated with three human malignancies, KS, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease. These disorders are linked to genomic instability, known to be a crucial component of the oncogenic process. Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA), encoded by open reading frame 73 of the KSHV genome, is a latent protein consistently expressed in all KSHV-associated diseases. LANA is important in viral genome maintenance and is associated with cellular and viral proteins to regulate viral and cellular gene expression. LANA interacts with the tumor suppressor genes p53 and pRb, indicating that LANA may target these proteins and promote oncogenesis. In this study, we generated cell lines which stably expressed LANA to observe the effects of LANA expression on cell phenotype. LANA expression in these stable cell lines showed a dramatic increase in chromosomal instability, indicated by the presence of increased multinucleation, micronuclei, and aberrant centrosomes. In addition, these stable cell lines demonstrated an increased proliferation rate and as well as increased entry into S phase in both stable and transiently transfected LANA-expressing cells. Additionally, p53 transcription and its transactivation activity were suppressed by LANA expression in a dose-dependent manner. LANA may therefore promote chromosomal instability by suppressing the functional activities of p53, thereby facilitating KSHV-mediated pathogenesis and cancer.
