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 (ORF) 63 protein (ORF63p) is one of six VZV ORFs shown to be transcribed and translated in latently infected human dorsal root ganglia. ORF63p accumulates exclusively in the cytoplasm of latently infected sensory neurons, whereas it is both nuclear and cytoplasmic during lytic infection and following reactivation from latency. Here, we demonstrate that infection of primary guinea pig enteric neurons (EN) with an adenovirus expressing ORF63p results in the exclusive cytoplasmic localization of the protein reminiscent of its distribution during latent VZV infection in humans. We show that the addition of the simian virus 40 large-T-antigen nuclear localization signal (NLS) results in the nuclear import of ORF63p in EN and that the ORF63p endogenous NLSs are functional in EN when fused to a heterologous protein. These data suggest that the cytoplasmic localization of ORF63p in EN results from the masking of the NLSs, thus blocking nuclear import. However, the coexpression of ORF61p, a strictly lytic VZV protein, and ORF63p in EN results in the nuclear import of ORF63p in a proteasome-dependent manner, and both ORF63p NLSs are required for this event. We propose that the cytoplasmic localization of ORF63p in neurons results from NLS masking and that the expression of ORF61p removes this block, allowing nuclear import to proceed.
