Transactivator protein BICP0 of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is blocked by prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), which points to a mechanism for PGD2-mediated inhibition of BHV-1 replication.

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.
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 immediate-early protein, BICP0, of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) transactivates a variety of viral and cellular genes. In a yeast two-hybrid cDNA library screening, we found that lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase, which catalyzes the production of prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)), is a cellular target of BICP0. We observed that, during wild-type BHV-1 infection, PGD(2) levels were increased intracellularly and decreased in the medium. These effects were absent upon infection with recombinant BHV-1 expressing beta-galactosidase instead of BICP0 (A2G2). Transient-expression assays showed that BICP0 alone caused a significant increase in PGD(2) levels in the cell. PGD(2) repressed BHV-1 replication in cultured cells. Antiviral activities of prostaglandins have been documented long ago, but their mode of action remains to be clarified. Here we provide evidence that PGD(2) impairs the transactivation ability of BICP0 that is necessary for efficient virus replication.
