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 VP22 protein of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a major component of the virion tegument. Previous work with HSV-1 indicated that VP22 is phosphorylated during infection, and phosphorylation may play a role in modulating VP22 localization in infected cells. It is not clear, however, when phosphorylation occurs in infected cells or how it is regulated. Less is known about the synthesis and phosphorylation of HSV-2 VP22. To study the complete biosynthetic history of HSV-2 VP22, we generated a monoclonal antibody to the carboxy terminus of VP22. Using immunoprecipitation and Western blot analyses, we show that HSV-2 VP22 can be found in three distinct isoforms in infected cells, two of which are phosphorylated. Like HSV-1 VP22, HSV-2 VP22 is synthesized ca. 4 h after infection, and the isoform later incorporated into virions is hypophosphorylated. In addition, we demonstrate for the first time (i) that newly synthesized VP22 is phosphorylated rapidly after synthesis, (ii) that this phosphorylation occurs in a virus-dependent manner, (iii) that the HSV-2 kinase UL13 is capable of inducing phosphorylation of VP22 in the absence of other viral proteins, (iv) that phosphorylated VP22 is very stable in infected cells, (v) that phosphorylated isoforms of VP22 are gradually dephosphorylated late in infection to produce the virion tegument form, and (vi) that this dephosphorylation occurs independently of viral DNA replication or virion assembly. These results indicate that HSV-2 VP22 is a stable protein that undergoes highly regulated, virus-dependent phosphorylation events in infected cells.
