Biogenesis of Epstein-Barr virus microRNAs.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus implicated in lymphomas, such as Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and NK/T cell lymphoma. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 19-25 nucleotide long single-stranded RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. miRNAs are mainly transcribed by RNA polymerase II (pol II) to have stem-loop structures and subsequently processed by Drosha and Dicer. EBV miRNAs are expressed in B cells, nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, and gastric carcinoma cells infected with EBV. EBV miRNAs can be divided into two groups: BHRF1 miRNAs and BART miRNAs. In this study, we investigated the biogenesis of EBV miRNAs. Treatment of the SNU-719 EBV-positive gastric cancer cell line with α-amanitin at a concentration that selectively inhibits RNA polymerase II activity decreased the expression levels of BART miRNAs. The expression levels of BART miRNAs were also reduced by RNA interference targeting Drosha and Dicer. Two of each C/EBPβ and c-Myc binding sites are located upstream of the proposed initiation sites for primary BART miRNA transcripts. Knockdown of C/EBPβ but not c-Myc using siRNAs reduced BART miRNA expression by 25-55% compared with the control. These results suggest that BART miRNAs are transcribed by pol II and undergo a similar biogenesis process with cellular miRNAs.
