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

Herpesviruses encode a variety of proteins with the potential to disrupt chemokine signaling, and hence immune organization. However, little is known of how these might function in vivo. The B cell-tropic murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) is related to the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), but whereas KSHV expresses small chemokine homologues, MHV-68 encodes a broad spectrum chemokine binding protein (M3). Here we have analyzed the effect on viral pathogenesis of a targeted disruption of the M3 gene. After intranasal infection, an M3 deficiency had surprisingly little effect on lytic cycle replication in the respiratory tract or the initial spread of virus to lymphoid tissues. However, the amplification of latently infected B cells in the spleen that normally drives MHV-68-induced infectious mononucleosis failed to occur. Thus, there was a marked reduction in latent virus recoverable by in vitro reactivation, latency-associated viral tRNA transcripts detectable by in situ hybridization, total viral DNA load, and virus-driven B cell activation. In vivo CD8(+) T cell depletion largely reversed this deficiency, suggesting that the chemokine neutralization afforded by M3 may function to block effective CD8(+) T cell recruitment into lymphoid tissue during the expansion of latently infected B cell numbers. In the absence of M3, MHV-68 was unable to establish a normal latent load.
