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

Previous studies suggest that the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen EBNA2 participates in the regulation of the expression of the viral latent membrane protein (LMP). We have used reporter plasmids containing DNA fragments of the 5' flanking region of the LMP gene in cotransfection experiments to analyze the effect of EBNA2 on the activity of the LMP promoter. The results show that the LMP promoter is controlled by positive and negative transcription elements in a DNA fragment that contains the LMP transcription initiation site and 634 base pairs of upstream sequences. The promoter is activated by EBNA2. The region between position -54 and +40 relative to the mRNA cap site contains a positive transcription element that is constitutively active in DG75 cells and independent of EBNA2. The -106 to -54 region contains a negative regulatory element that prevents adjacent positive elements from functioning in the absence of EBNA2. Regulatory sequences between -324 and -144 participate in maintaining a high level of transcription of the LMP promoter after induction with EBNA2. The regulatory elements in the -634 to -54 promoter region have the characteristics of an inducible enhancer, including orientation independence and ability to regulate a heterologous promoter.
