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

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a well-documented accessory protein of DNA repair and replication. It belongs to the sliding clamp family of proteins that encircle DNA and acts as a mobile docking platform for interacting proteins to mount and perform their metabolic tasks. PCNA presence is ubiquitous to all cells, and when located in the nucleus it plays a role in DNA replication and repair, cell cycle control and apoptosis in proliferating cells. It also plays a crucial role in the infectivity of some viruses, such as herpes simplex viruses (HSVs). However, more recently it has been found in the cytoplasm of immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages where it has been shown to be involved in the development of a pro-inflammatory state. PCNA is also expressed on the surface of certain cancer cells and can play a role in preventing immune cells from killing tumours, as well as being associated with cancer virulence. Given the growing interest in oncolytic viruses (OVs) as a novel cancer therapeutic, this review considers the role of PCNA in healthy, cancerous, and immune cells to gain an understanding of how PCNA targeted therapy and oncolytic virotherapy may interact in the future.
