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 product of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene UL144, expressed at early times postinfection, is located in the UL/b' region of the viral genome and is related to members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, but it does not bind tumor necrosis factor superfamily ligands. However, UL144 does activate NF-kappaB, resulting in NF-kappaB-mediated activation of the cellular chemokine CCL22. Consistent with this finding, isolates of HCMV lacking the UL/b' region show no such activation of CCL22. Recently, it has been suggested that activation of NF-kappaB is repressed by the product of the viral gene IE86: IE86 appears to block NF-kappaB binding to DNA but not nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. Intriguingly, IE86 is detectable throughout an infection with the virus, so how UL144 is able to activate NF-kappaB in the presence of continued IE86 expression is unclear. Here we show that although IE86 does repress the UL144-mediated activation of a synthetic NF-kappaB promoter, it is unable to block UL144-mediated activation of the CCL22 promoter, and this lack of responsiveness to IE86 appears to be regulated by binding of the CREB transcription factor.
