Nucleolin Regulates the Expression of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus' Latency-Associated Nuclear Antigen through G-Quadruplexes in the mRNA.
Article in Viruses, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes life-long latent infection and is linked to several human malignancies. Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) is highly expressed during latency, and is responsible for the replication and maintenance of the viral genome. The expression of LANA is regulated at transcriptional/translational levels through multiple mechanisms, including the secondary structures in the mRNA sequence. LANA mRNA has multiple G-quadruplexes (G4s) that are bound by multiple proteins to stabilize/destabilize these secondary structures for regulating LANA. In this manuscript, we demonstrate the role of Nucleolin (NCL) in regulating LANA expression through its interaction with G-quadruplexes of LANA mRNA. This interaction reduced LANA's protein expression through the sequestration of mRNA into the nucleus, demonstrated by the colocalization of G4-carrying mRNA with NCL. Furthermore, the downregulation of NCL, by way of a short hairpin, showed an increase in LANA translation following an alteration in the levels of LANA mRNA in the cytoplasm. Overall, the data presented in this manuscript showed that G-quadruplexes-mediated translational control could be regulated by NCL, which can be exploited for controlling KSHV latency.
