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

Host colonisation by lymphotropic gammaherpesviruses depends critically on the expansion of viral genomes in germinal centre (GC) B cells. Yet, host and virus molecular mechanisms involved in driving such proliferation remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the ORF73 protein encoded by the murid herpesvirus-4 (MuHV-4) inhibits host nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) transcriptional activity through poly-ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal-dependent nuclear degradation of the NF-kappaB family member p65/RelA. The mechanism involves the assembly of an ElonginC/Cullin5/SOCS (suppressors of cytokine signalling)-like complex, mediated by an unconventional viral SOCS-box motif present in ORF73. Functional deletion of this SOCS-box motif ablated NF-kappaB inhibitory effect of ORF73, suppressed MuHV-4 expansion in GC B cells and prevented MuHV-4 persistent infection in mice. These findings demonstrate that viral inhibition of NF-kappaB activity in latently infected GC centroblasts is critical for the establishment of a gammaherpesvirus persistent infection, underscoring the physiological importance of proteasomal degradation of RelA/NF-kappaB as a regulatory mechanism of this signalling pathway.
