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

To develop means to explore viral gene expression in ganglia without laborious histological sectioning and staining, we created a two color fluorescent recombinant HSV-1, in which enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP) are expressed from the glycoprotein B (gB) and glycoprotein C (gC) promoters respectively. We show that this virus retained growth and pathogenic capacity both in vitro and in vivo compared to wild type HSV-1; established latent infections with similar genome copy number in trigeminal ganglia (TG); induced a similar HSV-specific CD8(+) T cell infiltrate; did not induce CD8(+) T cells reactive to EGFP or RFP; and reactivated from latency with normal kinetics in ex vivo TG cultures. Fluorescent EGFP expression in plaques surrounding neurons preceded RFP expression and provided highly sensitive detection of reactivation and different stages of infection in ex vivo TG cultures. Expression of both EGFP and RFP in neurons was readily detectable in whole mounts of TG excised during acute infection and following in vivo sodium butyrate-induced reactivation from latency. This virus constitutes a useful reagent for monitoring lytic viral promoter activity in sensory neurons in vivo and in vitro.
