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

In vitro studies of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) viruses containing mutations in core sequences of the viral origins of DNA replication, oriL and oriS, that eliminate the ability of these origins to initiate viral-DNA synthesis have demonstrated little or no effect on viral replication in cultured cells, leading to the conclusion that the two types of origins are functionally redundant. It remains unclear, therefore, why origins that appear to be redundant are maintained evolutionarily in HSV-1 and other neurotropic alphaherpesviruses. To test the hypothesis that oriL and oriS have distinct functions in the HSV-1 life cycle in vivo, we determined the in vivo phenotypes of two mutant viruses, DoriL-I(LR) and DoriS-I, containing point mutations in oriL and oriS site I, respectively, that eliminate origin DNA initiation function. Following corneal inoculation of mice, tear film titers of DoriS-I were reduced relative to wild-type virus. In all other tests, however, DoriS-I behaved like wild-type virus. In contrast, titers of DoriL-I(LR) in tear film, trigeminal ganglia (TG), and hindbrain were reduced and mice infected with DoriL-I(LR) exhibited greatly reduced mortality relative to wild-type virus. In the TG explant and TG cell culture models of reactivation, DoriL-I(LR) reactivated with delayed kinetics and, in the latter model, with reduced efficiency relative to wild-type virus. Rescuant viruses DoriL-I(LR)-R and DoriS-I-R behaved like wild-type virus in all tests. These findings demonstrate that functional differences exist between oriL and oriS and reveal a prominent role for oriL in HSV-1 pathogenesis.
