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

Interconversion between the linear genome of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) present in virions and intracellular circular EBV DNA is a novel DNA recombination process. A previously characterized DNA binding activity called terminal repeat or tandem repeat binding protein (TRBP) was found to recognize several G-rich recombinogenic sequences in the EBV genome and in cellular DNA. TRBP was also found to be an autoantigen recognized by sera from certain patients with undifferentiated connective-tissue disorders. Here the transcription factor Sp1 has been identified as a component of TRBP and has been shown to be an autoantigen. Sp1 bound to recombination junctions of EBV DNA, such as those in the terminal repeats and in the large internal repeats, as well as to recombinogenic regions of cellular DNA, such as variable-number tandem repeats and switch regions of the immunoglobulin genes. We defined the ends of the linear EBV genome present in virions and showed that Sp1 binds to the sequence (GGGGTGGGGCATGGG) within EBV terminal repeats at the precise locus of interconversion of linear and circular viral DNA. Sp1 may be involved in DNA recombination.
