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

To allow DNA replication only once per cell cycle, origins of replication are reactivated ('licensed') during each G1 phase. Licensing is facilitated by assembly of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) at origins that concludes with loading the mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) complex onto chromatin. Here we show that a virus exploits pre-RC assembly to selectively inhibit cellular DNA replication. Infection of quiescent primary fibroblasts with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces all pre-RC factors. Although this is sufficient to assemble the MCM-loading factors onto chromatin, as it is in serum-stimulated cells, the virus inhibits loading of the MCM complex itself, thereby prematurely abrogating replication licensing. This provides a new level of control in pre-RC assembly and a mechanistic rationale for the unusual HCMV-induced G1 arrest that occurs despite the activation of the cyclin E-dependent transcription programme. Thus, this particularly large virus might thereby secure the supply with essential replication factors but omit competitive cellular DNA replication.
