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 human cytomegalovirus tegument protein pp71 is important for transactivation of immediate-early (IE) gene expression and for the efficient initiation of virus replication. We have analyzed the properties of pp71 by assaying its effects on gene expression from the genome of in1312, a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutant devoid of functional VP16, ICP0, and ICP4. Upon infection of human fibroblasts, in1312-derived viruses are repressed and retained in a quiescent state, but the presence of pp71 prevented the quiescent state from being attained. Reporter gene cassettes cloned into the in1312 genome, in addition to the endogenous IE promoters, remained active for at least 12 days postinfection, and infected cells were viable and morphologically normal. Cells expressing pp71 remained responsive to the HSV-1 transactivating factors VP16 and ICP4 and to trichostatin A. The C-terminal 61 amino acids, but not the LACSD motif, were required for pp71 activity. In addition to preventing attainment of quiescence, pp71 was able to disrupt the quiescent state of in1312 derivatives and promote the resumption of viral gene expression after a lag of approximately 3 days. The results extend the functional analysis of pp71 and suggest a degree of similarity with the HSV-1 IE protein ICP0. The ability to provoke slow reactivation of quiescent genomes, in conjunction with cell survival, represents a novel property for a viral structural protein.
