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 the infectious cause of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and plasmablastic multicentric Castleman's disease. STAT3 has been shown to be important for the maintenance of primary effusion lymphoma cells in culture and is chronically activated in many tumor cell lines. However, little is known about the role of KSHV in the activation of STAT3 or the role of STAT3 in KS tumors. We demonstrate that STAT3 is activated by KSHV infection of endothelial cells, the KS tumor cell type, in a biphasic fashion. Viral binding and entry activate STAT3 in the first 2 h after infection, but this activation dissipates by 4 h postinfection. By 12 h after KSHV infection, concomitant with the expression of latent genes, STAT3 is once again activated, and this activation persists for as long as latent infection is maintained. Activated STAT3 translocates to the nucleus, where it can bind to STAT3-specific DNA elements and can activate STAT3-dependent promoter activity. Conditioned medium from KSHV-infected endothelial cells is able to transiently activate STAT3, indicating the involvement of a secreted factor and that a latency-associated factor in KSHV-infected cells is necessary for sustained activation. KSHV upregulates gp130 receptor expression, and both gp130 and JAK2 are required for the activation of STAT3. However, neither human nor viral interleukin-6 is required for STAT3 activation. Persistent activation of the oncogenic signal transducer, STAT3, by KSHV may play a critical role in the viral pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma, as well as in primary effusion lymphomas.
