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 oral cavity has been identified as the major site for the shedding of infectious Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). While KSHV DNA is frequently detected in the saliva of KSHV seropositive persons, it does not appear to replicate in salivary glands. Some viruses employ the process of epithelial differentiation for productive viral replication. To test if KSHV utilizes the differentiation of oral epithelium as a mechanism for the activation of lytic replication and virus production, we developed an organotypic raft culture model of epithelium using keratinocytes from human tonsils. This system produced a nonkeratinized stratified squamous oral epithelium in vitro, as demonstrated by the presence of nucleated cells at the apical surface; the expression of involucrin and keratins 6, 13, 14, and 19; and the absence of keratin 1. The activation of KSHV lytic-gene expression was examined in this system using rKSHV.219, a recombinant virus that expresses the green fluorescent protein during latency from the cellular EF-1alpha promoter and the red fluorescent protein (RFP) during lytic replication from the viral early PAN promoter. Infection of keratinocytes with rKSHV.219 resulted in latent infection; however, when these keratinocytes differentiated into a multilayered epithelium, lytic cycle activation of rKSHV.219 occurred, as evidenced by RFP expression, the expression of the late virion protein open reading frame K8.1, and the production of infectious rKSHV.219 at the epithelial surface. These findings demonstrate that KSHV lytic activation occurs as keratinocytes differentiate into a mature epithelium, and it may be responsible for the presence of infectious KSHV in saliva.
