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) can establish latent lifelong infections in infected individuals. During viral latency, the latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) mediates the replication of the latent viral genome in dividing cells and tethers them to mitotic chromosomes, thus ensuring their partitioning into daughter cells during mitosis. This study aims to inhibit Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) latent replication by targeting the LANA-DNA interaction using small molecular entities. Drawing from first-generation inhibitors and using growth vectors identified through STD-NMR, we expanded these compounds using Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. This led to a deeper understanding of SAR achieved by microscale thermophoresis (MST) measurements and cell-free tests via electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Our most potent compounds successfully inhibit LANA-mediated replication in cell-based assays and demonstrate favorable
