Induction of spindle cell morphology in human vascular endothelial cells by human herpesvirus 8-encoded viral FLICE inhibitory protein K13.

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.
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
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, is linked to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma, a disease characterized by the presence of distinctive proliferating spindle-like cells. Although HHV8 can induce spindle cell transformation of vascular endothelial cells in vitro, the viral gene(s) responsible for this phenotype remain to be identified. We demonstrate that expression of HHV8-encoded viral Fas-associated death domain protein-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme inhibitory protein K13 is sufficient to induce spindle cell phenotype in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), which is associated with the activation of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway and can be blocked by Bay-11-7082, a specific inhibitor of this pathway. K13 induces the expression of several genes known to be upregulated in HHV8-transformed vascular endothelial cells, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, CXC ligand 3 (CXCL3), orphan G protein coupled receptor (RDC1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and dual-specificity phosphatase 5 (DUSP5). Furthermore, similar to K13, HHV8-induced spindle cell transformation of HUVEC is associated with NF-kappaB activation and can be blocked by Bay-11-7082. Thus, ectopic expression of a single latent gene of HHV8 is sufficient for the acquisition of spindle cell phenotype by vascular endothelial cells and NF-kappaB activation plays an essential role in this process.
