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

The virion host shutoff (vhs) protein of herpes simplex virus type 1 causes the degradation of host and viral mRNA immediately upon infection of permissive cells. vhs can interact with VP16 through a 20-amino-acid binding domain, and viruses containing a deletion of this VP16-binding domain of vhs (Delta20) and a corresponding marker rescue (Delta20R) were constructed and characterized. Transient-transfection assays showed that this domain was dispensable for vhs activity. The Delta20 recombinant virus, however, was unable to induce mRNA degradation in the presence of actinomycin D, while degradation induced by Delta20R was equivalent to that for wild-type virus. Delta20, Delta20R, and KOS caused comparable RNA degradation in the absence of actinomycin D. Western blot analysis of infected cells indicated that comparable levels of vhs were expressed by Delta20, Delta20R, and KOS, and there was only a modest reduction of vhs packaging in Delta20. Immunoprecipitation of protein from cells infected with Delta20 and Delta20R showed equivalent coprecipitation of vhs and VP16. Pathogenesis studies with Delta20 showed a significant decrease in replication in the corneas, trigeminal ganglia, and brains, as well as a significant reduction in clinical disease and lethality, but no significant difference in the establishment of, or reactivation from, latency compared to results with KOS and Delta20R. These results suggest that the previously described VP16-binding domain is not required for vhs packaging or for binding to VP16. It is required, however, for RNA degradation activity of tegument-derived vhs and wild-type replication and virulence in mice.
