Targeting Metabolic Vulnerabilities in Epstein-Barr Virus-Driven Proliferative Diseases.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The metabolism of cancer cells and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected cells have remarkable similarities. Cancer cells frequently reprogram metabolic pathways to augment their ability to support abnormal rates of proliferation and promote intra-organismal spread through metastatic invasion. On the other hand, EBV is also capable of manipulating host cell metabolism to enable sustained growth and division during latency as well as intra- and inter-individual transmission during lytic replication. It comes as no surprise that EBV, the first oncogenic virus to be described in humans, is a key driver for a significant fraction of human malignancies in the world (~1% of all cancers), both in terms of new diagnoses and attributable deaths each year. Understanding the contributions of metabolic pathways that underpin transformation and virus replication will be important for delineating new therapeutic targets and designing nutritional interventions to reduce disease burden. In this review, we summarise research hitherto conducted on the means and impact of various metabolic changes induced by EBV and discuss existing and potential treatment options targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in EBV-associated diseases.
