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 analyze the mechanisms of entry of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), we established a reporter cell line T1H6 that contains the lacZ gene under the control of the polyadenylated nuclear RNA promoter, known to be strongly activated by a viral transactivator, Rta. We found that infection with cell-free virus, as well as cocultivation with HHV-8-positive primary effusion lymphoma cell lines, activated the lacZ gene of T1H6 in a sensitive and dose-dependent manner. Addition of Polybrene and centrifugation enhanced, but polysulfonate compounds inhibited, the HHV-8 infectivity. RGD-motif-containing polypeptides and integrins did not decrease the infectivity, suggesting the presence of an additional cellular receptor other than the reported one. The entry was dependent on pH acidification but not on the clathrin pathway. Although conditioned media obtained from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected cells did not have any effect on the early steps of HHV-8 infection, intracellular expression of a proviral HIV type 1, but not of Tat alone, increased the HHV-8-dependent reporter activation slightly, suggesting a potential of HIV-mediated enhancement of an early step of HHV-8 infection.
