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

Approximately 10% of gastric carcinomas (GC) worldwide are associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). GC is one of the most frequent human malignancies associated with EBV. The latent expression of the EBV-oncogene BARF1 is restricted to epithelial malignancies. To investigate the underlying BARF1-related mechanisms of oncogenic epithelial transformation, we analyzed gene expression profiles of a BARF1-transfected epithelial (HaCaT+) and the corresponding BARF1-negative (HaCaT-) cell line by cDNA microarray analysis. Real-time PCR was performed to confirm the cDNA microarray results. In addition, immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization were performed on a tissue microarray of 181 GC including 11 EBV-associated GC. Among other genes cyclin D1 expression was significantly upregulated in HaCaT+ on the transcriptional and protein level. Cyclin D1 protein expression in GC revealed a significant overexpression of cyclin D1 in EBV-associated GC (p<0.012) but not in EBV-negative GC. Cyclin D1 FISH showed that cyclin D1 overexpression was not due to gene amplification in EBV-associated GC. Cyclin D1 is induced in HaCaT+ by BARF1 and is overexpressed in EBV-associated GC indicating an interaction of viral BARF1 and cyclin D1.
