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

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) ie1 deletion mutant CR208 is profoundly growth deficient after low-multiplicity infection of primary fibroblasts. Previously, we showed that many fewer cells infected with CR208 at low multiplicity accumulated the delayed-early (DE) protein ppUL44 than accumulated the immediate-early 2 (IE2) p86 protein, indicating a high frequency of abortive infections. We now demonstrate that accumulation of all DE proteins tested was defective after low-multiplicity infection in the absence of IE1 p72. Accumulation of the DE proteins pUL57, pUL98, and pUL69 followed a pattern very similar to that of ppUL44 during low-multiplicity CR208 infection. Accumulation of the ppUL112-113 proteins occurred in a greater proportion of cells than other DE proteins during low-multiplicity CR208 infection, but was still deficient relative to wild-type virus. We also show for the first time that steady-state levels of many DE RNAs were reduced during low-multiplicity CR208 infection and that by in situ hybridization of the abundant cytoplasmic 2.7-kb TRL4 DE (beta2.7) RNA, a viral DE RNA followed a defective pattern of accumulation similar to that of ppUL44. Furthermore, transfected DE promoter-reporter constructs were found in transient assays to be considerably less responsive to CR208 infection than to infection by wild-type Towne virus. Our results indicate a general defect in DE gene expression following low-multiplicity HCMV infection in the absence of functional IE1 p72, most probably mediated by reduced transcription of DE genes and by the reduced accumulation of DE RNAs.
