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

The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) Mta protein, encoded by open reading frame 57, is a transactivator of gene expression that is essential for productive viral replication. Previous studies have suggested both transcriptional and posttranscriptional roles for Mta, but little is known regarding Mta's transcriptional function. In this study, we demonstrate that Mta cooperates with the KSHV lytic switch protein, Rta, to reactivate KSHV from latency, but Mta has little effect on reactivation when expressed alone. We demonstrate that the Mta and Rta proteins are expressed with similar but distinct kinetics during KSHV reactivation. In single-cell analyses, Mta expression coincides tightly with progression to full viral reactivation. We demonstrate with promoter reporter assays that while Rta activates transcription in all cell lines tested, Mta's ability to transactivate promoters, either alone or synergistically with Rta, is cell and promoter specific. In particular, Mta robustly transactivates the nut-1/PAN promoter independently of Rta in 293 and Akata-31 cells. Using nuclear run-on assays, we demonstrate that Mta stimulates transcriptional initiation in 293 cells. Rta and Mta physically interact in infected cell extracts, and this interaction requires the intact leucine repeat and central region of Rta in vitro. We demonstrate that Mta also binds to the nut-1/PAN promoter DNA in vitro and in infected cells. An Mta mutant with a lesion in a putative A/T hook domain is altered in DNA binding and debilitated in transactivation. We propose that one molecular mechanism of Mta-mediated transactivation is a direct effect on transcription by direct and indirect promoter association.
