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
During herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) latency, only one region of the viral genome is actively transcribed: the region encoding the latency-associated transcript (LAT). A previous study demonstrated that during latency the LAT promoter is hyperacetylated at histone H3 (K9, K14) relative to lytic genes examined. In the present study, we examine the acetylation profile of regions downstream of the LAT promoter during a latent infection of murine dorsal root ganglia. These analyses revealed the following: (i) the region of the genome containing the 5' exon of the LAT primary transcript was at least as enriched in acetylated H3 as the LAT promoter, and (ii) the region of hyperacetylation does not extend to the ICP0 promoter. In order to assess the contribution of LAT transcription to the acetylation of the 5' exon region, the acetylation profile of KOS/29, a recombinant with a deletion of the LAT promoter, was examined. The region containing the 5' exon of KOS/29 was hyperacetylated relative to lytic gene regions in the absence of detectable LAT transcription. These results indicate that the region containing the 5' exon of LAT, known to contain enhancer activities and to be critical for induced reactivation (rcr), exists in a chromatin structure during latency that is distinct from other lytic gene regions. This result suggests a role for the 5' exon LAT enhancer region as a cis-acting regulator of transcription that maintains a transcriptionally permissive chromatin domain in the HSV-1 latent episome.
