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 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic program includes lytic viral DNA replication and the production of a viral particle into which the replicated viral DNA is packaged. The terminal repeats (TRs) located at the end of the linear viral DNA have been identified as the packaging signals. A TR-negative (TR(-)) mutant therefore provides an appropriate tool to analyze the relationships between EBV DNA packaging and virus production. Here, we show that supernatants from lytically induced 293 cells carrying TR mutant EBV genomes (293/TR(-)) contain large amounts of viral particles devoid of viral DNA which are nevertheless able to bind to EBV target cells. This shows that viral DNA packaging is not a prerequisite for virion formation and egress. Rather surprisingly, supernatants from lytically induced 293/TR(-) cells also contained rare infectious viruses carrying the viral mutant DNA. This observation indicates that the TRs are important but not absolutely essential for virus encapsidation.
