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 causal agent of both KS and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). Although treatment with paclitaxel has significant antitumor activity in KS, drug resistance represents a major obstacle for improving the overall response and survival of PEL patients. The transcriptional pattern of KSHV is cell/tissue specific, as revealed by the fact that the viral latent protein LANA2 is detected exclusively in B cells. This paper focuses on the mechanism of paclitaxel resistance observed in PEL cells. Here we show that LANA2 protein modulates microtubule dynamics through its direct binding to polymerized microtubules, preventing microtubule stabilization induced by paclitaxel. This is the first demonstration of paclitaxel resistance induced by a viral protein and suggests a link between the expression of LANA2 and the resistance of PEL cells to paclitaxel.
