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

EBV BARF1 gene encodes a secretory protein with transforming and mitogenic activities. In this report, the post-translational modification, folding, maturation and secretion of BARF1 are systematically studied by site-directed mutagenesis and overexpression of the protein in mammalian cells using the vaccinia/T7 system. The protein was shown to be post-translationally modified by N-linked glycosylation on the asparagine 95 residue. This modification was confirmed to be essential for the maturation and secretion of the protein. Analysis of the four cysteine residues by site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that cysteine 146 and 201 were essential for proper folding and secretion of the protein. To search for human proteins involved in the maturation process of the protein, a yeast two-hybrid screening was carried out using the BARF1 sequence from amino acids 21-221 (BARF1Delta) as bait, leading to the identification of human hTid1 protein as a potential interacting protein. This interaction was subsequently confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation and dual immunofluorescent labeling of cells coexpressing BARF1 and hTid1, and the interaction domain in hTid1 was mapped to amino acids 149-320. Interestingly, coexpression of BARF1 with hTid1 demonstrated that hTid1 could promote secretion of BARF1, suggesting that hTid1 may act as a chaperone to facilitate the folding, processing and maturation of BARF1.
