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

Nucleocytoplasmic transport of signaling modulators is essential for regulating cellular responses to extracellular stimulation and stress, as well as pathogen infection. Exportin 1 (XPO1), also known as chromosomal maintenance 1 (CRM1), mediates nuclear export of proteins, rRNAs, snRNAs, and some mRNAs. In this study, we have identified an essential role of XPO1 in regulating Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) lytic replication during primary infection of primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Treatment with an XPO1 inhibitor KPT-8602 and short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of XPO1 reduced KSHV lytic replication but had no effect on KSHV entry and trafficking. XPO1 inhibition induced retention of autophagy adaptor protein p62 (SQSTM1) in the nucleus, which enhanced activation of TBK1 and IRF3. As a result, nuclear accumulation of p62 increased expression of innate immune-related genes including IRF7, ISG15, IFIT1, IFIT2, and IFIT3, leading to a reduction of KSHV lytic replication. These results illustrate a novel mechanism by which XPO1 mediates innate immune response and KSHV replication, and identify XPO1 as a potential therapeutic target and KPT-8602 as a promising therapeutic agent for KSHV infection.
