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 cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) is a key enzyme for many cellular mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the importance of this kinase for the replication of the alphaherpesvirus Varicella-zoster virus (VZV). We report that the expression of the catalytic subunit of PKA was strongly increased at the beginning of the viral cycle. The presence of a peptide inhibitor of PKA had no consequence on viral replication in a melanoma cell line whereas in fibroblasts, it resulted in a drastic decrease of replication. An overall analysis of PKA substrates phosphorylation patterns during VZV replication showed that the phosphorylation of PKA substrates was modulated. These results were completed by investigating the accumulation and phosphorylation patterns of the PKA target cAMP response element binding protein (CREB). This transcription factor remained available throughout the VZV replication, but its phosphorylation decreased in the early phase of infection before it rose later on. These results indicate that the PKA signalling plays a cell-type dependent role for VZV replication and that the infection resulted in a regulated CREB-dependent gene expression.
