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) establishes latent infection in various cells in vitro as well as KSHV-associated tumor cells in vivo. The latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) of KSHV is one of a small number of genes expressed in the latent phase of KSHV infection. This antigen is crucial for establishment of the latent infection, such as replication of KSHV genomic DNA and maintenance of infection via direct interaction with terminal repeats (TRs) in the viral genome. Using a yeast two-hybrid screening method, we isolated a novel LANA-interacting protein (designated as KZLP; KRAB Zinc finger LANA interacting Protein) from a human peripheral leukocyte cDNA library. KZLP encodes a KRAB domain and 12 Kruppel-type zinc fingers. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction showed that KZLP was expressed ubiquitously in various cell lines including those infected with KSHV. A luciferase assay showed that KZLP could activate the KSHV open reading frame K1 promoter containing TRs in 293T cells, and that such activation required multiple TR sequences. In contrast, LANA repressed the activity of the K1 promoter through TRs, and again this repression required multiple TR units. Moreover, LANA almost completely abrogated the KZLP-mediated transcriptional activation. Our results suggest that KZLP and LANA regulate gene expression through TRs in the KSHV viral genome, including the K1 gene in latent KSHV-infected cells.
