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

In cell lines, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded protein latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) protects B-cells from apoptosis by blocking B-cell receptor (BCR) signalling. However, EBV-infected B-cells in vivo are extremely different from cell lines. This study used a murine transgenic model in which B-cells express LMP2A and a BCR specific for hen egg lysozyme to determine whether LMP2A protects resting and antigen-activated B-cells from apoptosis. LMP2A allows BCR signal transduction and induces constitutive activation of NF-kappaB to increase Bcl-2 levels that afford LMP2A-mediated protection from apoptosis in the absence or presence of antigen. In contrast, low levels of NF-kappaB inhibitor only affected Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL levels and increased apoptosis in LMP2A-negative B-cells after BCR cross-linking. These data suggest that LMP2A uniquely makes resting B-cells sensitive to NF-kappaB inhibition and apoptosis and suggest that NF-kappaB may be a novel target to eradicate latently EBV-infected B-cells.
