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) efficiently immortalizes human B cells and is associated with several human malignancies. The EBV transcriptional activating protein EBNA2 and the EBNA2 coactivator EBNA-leader protein (EBNA-LP) are important for B cell immortalization. Recent observations from our laboratory indicate that EBNA-LP coactivation function is mediated through interactions with the interferon-inducible gene (ISG) Sp100, resulting in displacement from its normal location in promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs) into the nucleoplasm. The EBNA-LP- and interferon-mediated mechanisms that regulate Sp100 subnuclear localization and transcriptional function remain undefined. To clarify these issues, we generated a panel of Sp100 mutant proteins to ascertain whether EBNA-LP induces Sp100 displacement from PML NBs by interfering with Sp100 dimerization or through other domains. In addition, we tested EBNA-LP function in interferon-treated cells. Our results indicate that Sp100 dimerization, PML NB localization, and EBNA-LP interaction domains overlap significantly. We also show that IFN-beta does not inhibit EBNA-LP coactivation function. The results suggest that EBNA-LP might play a role in EBV-evasion of IFN-mediated antiviral responses.
