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

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has recently been found to generate circular RNAs (circRNAs) from several KSHV genes, most abundantly from K10 (viral interferon regulatory factor 4 [vIRF4]), K7.3, and polyadenylated nuclear (PAN) RNA. To define expression of these circRNAs, KSHV-infected cell lines, patient tissues, and purified virions were examined. KSHV circRNA expression was universally detected in tests of six primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cell lines but ranged from low-level expression in BC-1 cells dually infected with tightly latent KSHV and Epstein-Barr virus to abundant expression in KSHV-only BCBL-1 cells with spontaneous virus production. Generally, the PAN/K7.3 locus broadly and bidirectionally generated circRNA levels that paralleled the corresponding linear RNA levels. However, RNA corresponding to a particular KSHV circularization site (circ-vIRF4) was minimally induced, despite linear vIRF4 RNA being activated by virus induction.
