Identification of a New Phosphorylated Host Interactor of the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Kinase BGLF4 Suggests Key Points for EBV-Specific Antiviral Drug Targeting.

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
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human pathogenic and oncogenic herpesvirus, with worldwide importance, at times associated with serious to life-threatening symptoms, especially in immunocompromised hosts. The available preventive options against EBV disease are limited to medically elaborate and cost-intensive measures of cell-based immunotherapy. The development of novel options of anti-EBV drug targeting is currently a matter of intense international efforts. A putative target of the antiviral therapy approach is the EBV-encoded protein kinase BGLF4, which fulfills a multifaceted role in productive viral replication. So far, viral BGLF4 interactor proteins and phosphorylated substrates have occasionally been reported, but in particular cellular interactors await further characterization concerning both, their relevance for BGLF4 functionality and their accessibility to antiviral drugs. In this study, we have analyzed host cell-BGLF4 interaction, BGLF4 kinase properties, and BGLF4-directed small molecules. The main results are as follows:
