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

RNA interference (RNAi) is an antiviral mechanism that is activated when double-stranded RNA is cleaved into fragments, called short interfering RNA (siRNA), that prime an inducible gene silencing enzyme complex. We applied RNAi against a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) gene, glycoprotein E, which mediates cell-to-cell spread and immune evasion. In an in vitro model of infection, human keratinocytes were transfected with siRNA specific for glycoprotein E and then infected with wild-type HSV-1. RNAi-mediated gene silencing reproduced the small plaque phenotype of a gE-deletion mutant virus. The specificity of gene targeting was demonstrated by flow cytometry and Northern blot analyses. Exogenous siRNA can suppress HSV-1 glycoprotein E expression and function during active infection in vitro through RNAi. This work establishes RNAi as a genetic tool for the study of HSV and provides a foundation for development of RNAi as a novel antiviral therapy.
