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

Epigenetic mechanisms govern the different life phases of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In the first prelatent phase the viral DNA acquires nucleosomes, histone marks are established, and 5'-methyl cytosine residues become detectable. In the latent phase repressive histone marks and extensive DNA methylation silence the majority of viral promoters sparing a few latent genes. DNA methylation is a prerequisite for the induction of EBV's lytic phase in order to escape from latency and give rise to viral progeny. All three phases rely on the different epigenetic states of viral DNA and the availability of viral and cellular factors. EBV exploits cellular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation for its different life phases and serves as a marvelous example of an intimate host-pathogen relationship.
