Viral infection, APOBEC3 dysregulation, and cancer.
Review in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Viral infection plays a significant role in the development and progression of many cancers. Certain viruses, such as Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV), are well-known for their oncogenic potential. These viruses can dysregulate specific molecular and cellular processes through complex interactions with host cellular mechanisms. One such interaction involves a family of DNA mutators known as APOBEC3 (Apolipoprotein B mRNA Editing Catalytic Polypeptide-like 3). The primary function of these cytidine deaminases is to provide protection against viral infections by inducing viral mutagenesis. However, induction and dysregulation of A3 enzymes, driven by viral infection, can inadvertently lead to cellular DNA tumorigenesis. This review focuses on the current knowledge regarding the interplay between viral infection, A3 dysregulation, and cancer, highlighting the molecular mechanisms underlying this relationship.
