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

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive malignancy caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. HTLV-1 exerts its oncogenic functions by interacting with signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and transformation. Dysregulation of the Hippo/YAP pathway is associated with multiple cancers, including virus-induced malignancies. In the present study, we observe that expression of YAP, which is the key effector of Hippo signaling, is elevated in ATL cells by the action of the HTLV-1 Tax protein. YAP transcriptional activity is remarkably enhanced in HTLV-1-infected cells and ATL patients. In addition, Tax activates the YAP protein via a mechanism involving the NF-κB/p65 pathway. As a mechanism for this cross talk between the Hippo and NF-κB pathways, we found that p65 abrogates the interaction between YAP and LATS1, leading to suppression of YAP phosphorylation, inhibition of ubiquitination-dependent degradation of YAP, and YAP nuclear accumulation. Finally, knockdown of YAP suppresses the proliferation of ATL cells in vitro and tumor formation in ATL-engrafted mice. Taken together, our results suggest that p65-induced YAP activation is essential for ATL pathogenesis and implicate YAP as a potential therapeutic target for ATL treatment.
