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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus associated with the development of both lymphoid and epithelial tumors. The EBV critical latent antigens EBNA1 and EBNA3C interact with Nm23-H1, a known suppressor of cell migration and tumor metastasis. This interaction is critical for the regulation of downstream cellular genes involved in tumorigenesis and cell migration. The significance of these interactions was determined in nude mice using cancer cells expressing both EBV antigens and Nm23-H1. The EBV antigens promoted the growth of transformed cells in vivo, but their expression was less critical during the later stage of tumor development. The expression of Nm23-H1 affected the growth of cancer cells and suppressed their metastatic potential. This effect was effectively rescued by the expression of both EBV antigens. Interestingly, the prometastatic potential of EBNA3C was greater than that of EBNA1, which triggered a dramatic immune response, as indicated by increased spleen size and development of ascites in the mice. These studies now bridge the expression of the EBV antigens with tumorigenesis and metastasis and widen the range of potential targets for development of therapies for EBV-associated malignancies.
