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

Incompletely understood mechanisms serve to maintain Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latency in most B-cell states, in which viral oncogene(s) are expressed but lytic antigens are repressed. Shortly after EBV's discovery and even before it was named, early pioneers Werne and Gertrude Henle identified that restriction of extracellular arginine de-represses EBV lytic antigens within Burkitt lymphoma tumor cells. However, for nearly 60 years, it has remained unknown how arginine metabolism supports EBV latency. To gain insights, we performed an amino acid restriction screen in Burkitt cell lines. This confirmed that arginine restriction was sufficient to trigger EBV reactivation in Burkitt B-cells and gastric carcinoma models. Arginine restriction strongly impaired
