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 (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the risk factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and cervical carcinoma, respectively. However, clinical analyses demonstrate that EBV or HPV is associated with improved response of patients, although underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we reported that the oncoproteins of DNA viruses, such as LMP1 of EBV and E7 of HPV, inhibit PERK activity in cancer cells via the interaction of the viral oncoproteins with PERK through a conserved motif. Inhibition of PERK led to increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that promoted tumor and enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapy in vivo. Consistently, disruption of viral oncoprotein-PERK interactions attenuated tumor growth and chemotherapy in both cancer cells and tumor-bearing mouse models. Our findings uncovered a paradoxical effect of DNA tumor virus oncoproteins on tumors and highlighted that targeting PERK might be an attractive strategy for the treatment of NPC and cervical carcinoma.
