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

Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) late expression factor 3 (LEF-3) is an essential protein for DNA replication in transient assays. P143, a large DNA-binding protein with DNA-unwinding activity, is also essential for viral DNA replication in vivo. Both LEF-3 and P143 are found in the nucleus of AcMNPV-infected cells, but only LEF-3 localizes to the nucleus when expressed in transfected cells on its own from a plasmid expression vector. P143 requires LEF-3 as a transporter to enter the nucleus. To investigate the possibility that LEF-3 carries a nuclear localization signal domain, we constructed a series of LEF-3 deletion mutants and examined the intracellular localization of the products in plasmid-transfected cells. We discovered that the N-terminal 56 amino acid residues of LEF-3 were sufficient for nuclear localization and that this domain, when fused with either the green fluorescent protein reporter gene or P143, was able to direct these proteins to the nucleus. Transient DNA replication assays demonstrated that fusing the LEF-3 nuclear localization signal domain to P143 did not alter the function of P143 in supporting DNA replication but was not sufficient to substitute for whole LEF-3. These data show that although one role for LEF-3 during virus infection is to transport P143 to the nucleus, LEF-3 performs other essential replication functions once inside the nucleus.
