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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a metastatic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer that expresses the viral oncogenic protein, latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1). During epithelial metastasis, detached cells must overcome anoikis-induced cell death and gain the ability to reattach and restore growth potential. Anoikis assays have revealed cell survival mechanisms during suspension, but few studies have tracked the fate of cells surviving anoikis-inducing conditions. In this study, a modified anoikis assay was used to examine if the expression of LMP1 confers the recovery of epithelial cells from anoikis. Cells expressing LMP1 mutants and strains were evaluated for distinguishing properties in survival during suspension, reattachment, and outgrowth potential. Expression of LMP1 promoted the outgrowth of the NPC cell line HK1 following anoikis induction that was not attributed to enhanced cell survival in suspension or reattachment. The mechanism of LMP1-induced outgrowth required Akt signaling and the conserved PXQXT motif on LMP1, which activates Akt. Deletion of any of the three LMP1 C-terminal activation regions (CTAR) abrogated anoikis recovery, suggesting that additional LMP1-regulated signaling pathways are likely involved. Of the seven LMP1 strains, only B958, China1, and Med
