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 herpes virus that is associated with several human cancers. Infection of B cells by EBV leads to their induction and maintenance of proliferation and requires the oncogene, latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1). LMP1 signals in a ligand-independent manner and is expressed at widely different levels in cells of a single clone. It is this unusual distribution that allows LMP1 to stimulate multiple, distinct pathways. Average levels of LMP1 induce proliferation while high levels induce cytostasis and inhibition of protein synthesis. These inhibitory pathways are induced by the six transmembrane domains of LMP1. We uncovered a novel function encoded by transmembrane domains 3-6 of LMP1; they induce autophagy in a dose-dependent manner and thus, modify the physiology of their host. Cells that express low levels of LMP1 display early stages of autophagy, autophagosomes; those that express high levels of this oncogene display late stages of autophagy, autolysosomes. Inhibition of autophagy in EBV-positive cells leads to an accumulation of LMP1 and a decreased ability to form colonies. These results indicate that LMP1's induction of autophagy contributes to its own regulation and that of its host cell.
