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 gammaherpesviruses are associated with lymphomas and other malignancies. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) infection of mice has emerged as a model for understanding gammaherpesvirus pathogenesis in vivo. In contrast to human gammaherpesviruses, MHV-68 replicates in permissive cell lines in a robust manner, presenting an efficient model to study the basic mechanisms for DNA replication and recombination processes. In addition, MHV-68 also infects a broad range of cells of different tissue types and from different host species, and the viral genome persists as an episome in infected cells. These features make MHV-68 an attractive system on which to build gene delivery vectors. We have therefore undertaken a study to identify the cis elements required for MHV-68 genome replication and packaging. Here we report that an 8.4-kb MHV-68 genomic fragment between ORF66 and ORF73 conferred on the plasmid the ability to replicate; replication required the presence of either de novo viral infection or viral reactivation from latency. We further mapped the origin of lytic replication (oriLyt) to a 1.25-kb region. Moreover, we demonstrated that the terminal repeat of the viral genome is sufficient for packaging of the replicated oriLyt plasmid into mature viral particles. Functional identification of the MHV-68 oriLyt and packaging signal has laid a foundation for investigating the mechanisms controlling gammaherpesvirus DNA replication during the viral lytic phase and will also serve as a base on which to design gene delivery vectors.
