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

Recent studies suggest the existence of cancer stem cells (CSC) and cancer progenitor cells (CPC), although strict definitions of neither CSC nor CPC have been developed. We have produced evidence that the principal oncoprotein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), which is associated with human malignancies, especially nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, whether LMP1 is involved in the development of CSC/CPC is still unclear. This study investigates whether the expression of EBV-LMP1 is related to the development of CSC/CPC. Analysis of cancer stem cell markers reveals that LMP1 induces the CD44(high) CD24(low) CSC/CPC-like phenotype as well as self-renewal abilities in LMP1-expressing epithelial cell lines. In addition, we show here that LMP1 induction in epithelial cells causes high tumorigenicity and rapid cellular proliferation. Furthermore, we found that LMP1 expression increased the expression of several CPC markers as well as producing increased levels of EMT markers. Our findings indicate that LMP1 can induce a CPC-like rather than a CSC-like phenotype in epithelial cells and suggest that LMP1-induced phenotypic changes contribute to the development of NPC.
