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

A recombinant HSV-1 virus expressing EGFP from the HCMV major immediate early promoter (KOS-CMVGFP) was constructed to monitor viral replication and spread in vitro and in mice. KOS-CMVGFP replicated as efficiently as wild-type virus, strain KOS, in single cycle growth experiments in Vero cells indicating that the recombinant virus has no significant growth defects in vitro. Following ocular inoculation of mice, KOS-CMVGFP exhibited slight but statistically significant reductions in mouse tear film titers relative to wild-type virus. Progression of virus infection of the eyes, periocular tissue, and snout was readily followed by fluorescence microscopy. Insertion of the EGFP expression cassette into the KOS genome had no effect on the efficiency of establishment of latency as determined by quantitative competitive PCR of viral genomes in latently infected TG. KOS-CMVGFP reactivated with wild-type kinetics and efficiency by explant cocultivation, but exhibited a significant delay in the kinetics and a modest reduction in the efficiency of reactivation compared to KOS in the more sensitive TG cell culture model. Notably, EGFP expression preceded the detection of infectious virus by greater than 24 h in both ex vivo models and thus is a useful marker of the early stages in the induction of reactivation.
