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

Many oncogenic viruses activate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) as a part of their replicative cycles. We have shown recently that persistent and potentially oncogenic activation of NF-κB by the human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) oncoprotein Tax immediately triggers a host senescence response mediated by cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors: p21(CIP1/WAF1) (p21) and p27(Kip1) (p27) Here we demonstrate that RelA/NF-κB activation by Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) latency protein vFLIP also leads to p21/p27 upregulation and G1 cell cycle arrest. Remarkably, KSHV vCyclin, another latency protein coexpressed with vFLIP from a bicistronic latency-specific mRNA, was found to prevent the senescence and G1 arrest induced by HTLV-1 Tax and vFLIP, respectively. This is because of the known ability of vCyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase 6 complex to resist p21 and p27 inhibition and cause p27 degradation. In KSHV-transformed BCBL-1 cells, sustained vFLIP expression with small hairpin RNAs-mediated vCyclin depletion resulted in G1 arrest. The functional interdependence of vFLIP and vCyclin explains why they are cotranslated from the same viral mRNA. Importantly, deregulation of the G1 cyclin-dependent kinase can facilitate chronic I-κB kinases/NF-κB activation.
