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

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) open reading frame 63 (ORF63) protein is expressed during latency in human sensory ganglia. Deletion of ORF63 impairs virus replication in cell culture and establishment of latency in cotton rats. We found that cells infected with a VZV ORF63 deletion mutant yielded low titers of cell-free virus and produced very few enveloped virions detectable by electron microscopy compared with those infected with parental virus. Microarray analysis of cells infected with a recombinant adenovirus expressing ORF63 showed that transcription of few human genes was affected by ORF63; a heat shock 70-kDa protein gene was downregulated, and several histone genes were upregulated. In experiments using VZV transcription arrays, deletion of ORF63 from VZV resulted in a fourfold increase in expression of ORF62, the major viral transcriptional activator. A threefold increase in ORF62 protein was observed in cells infected with the ORF63 deletion mutant compared with those infected with parental virus. Cells infected with ORF63 mutants impaired for replication and latency (J. I. Cohen, T. Krogmann, S. Bontems, C. Sadzot-Delvaux, and L. Pesnicak, J. Virol. 79:5069-5077, 2005) showed an increase in ORF62 transcription compared with those infected with parental virus. In contrast, cells infected with an ORF63 mutant that is not impaired for replication or latency showed ORF62 RNA levels equivalent to those in cells infected with parental virus. The ability of ORF63 to downregulate ORF62 transcription may play an important role in virus replication and latency.
