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

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) proteins VP16 and ICP0 play key roles in stimulating the onset of the viral lytic cycle. We sought to explore the regulatory links between these proteins by studying the phenotypes of viral mutants in which the activation functions of both were simultaneously inactivated. This analysis unexpectedly revealed that truncation of the C-terminal transcriptional activation domain of VP16 (allele V422) in an ICP0-deficient background almost completely eliminated immediate-early gene expression and virus replication in Vero and HEL cells. The doubly mutant viral genome persisted in a quiescent state for at least 10 days in HEL cells infected at high multiplicity and could be reactivated by superinfection with wild-type HSV. In contrast, the in1814 VP16 mutation produced a markedly less severe phenotype in the same ICP0-deficient background. These data demonstrate that expression of the immediate-early genes requires ICP0 when the C-terminal activation domain of VP16 is deleted and raise the possibility that the in1814 form of VP16 retains a residual ability to stimulate gene expression during virus infection.
