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

Epstein-Barr virus-encoded latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1) plays a fundamental role in the malignant transformation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), although the mechanism is not well understood. Here, we showed that Limb-bud and Heart (LBH) is considerably downregulated in patient NPC tissues. The expression of LBH in biopsies of 40 consecutive NPC patients devoid of initial distant metastasis and treated according to consistent guidelines was also analyzed, and we found the LBH expression level was correlated with some of clinicopathological features, disease-specific survival (DSS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). We further determined that LBH normally induces NPC cell cycle arrest at the G1/S transition, and LBH can suppress the growth of transplanted NPC tumors in vivo by downregulating LMP1-mediated NF-κB transcriptional activity. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) normally protects against tumor development by suppressing cell proliferation, but NPC cells acquire resistance to TGF-β1-mediated inhibition. We found that TGF-β1 inhibits NF-κB transcriptional activity and nasopharyngeal epithelial cell proliferation through upregulating LBH expression. These data reveal a previously unknown NPC transformation mechanism and provide a new concept and treatment strategy for LMP1-driven oncogenesis in NPC.
