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

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), yet its pathogenic mechanisms remain largely unclear. In particular, the role of BLV genomic integration sites (IS(s)) in BLV-induced leukemogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Here, we identified a total of 235 ISs from 99 BLV-infected cattle with lymphoma, of which 4.3% and 46.8% were located within exon and intron, respectively, while no preferential integration into CpG islands or repetitive regions was observed. All identified ISs were distinct, and no identical sites were detected among the samples. We identified 246 genes related with these ISs and protein-protein interaction analysis of these genes demonstrated one "IS-Clustered genes" composed of 85 among 246 genes. This "IS-Clustered genes" contains 12 cancer genes (14.1%) with high significantly proportion. Notably, with 55 among 99 cattle tested (55.6%) harboring ISs within this cluster, suggesting its crucial involvement in BLV-induced pathogenesis. Furthermore, integrated analysis of known lymphoma- and IS-related genes and the 85 "IS-Clustered genes" showed that key genes formed a shared cluster, indicating a potential "common EBL-associated cluster." These findings provide important insights into the role of BLV integration in EBL development and may contribute to elucidating its molecular mechanisms underlying onset of EBL. In addition, these findings may also aid in the development of therapeutic strategies and facilitate early diagnosis.
