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

VP22, encoded by the UL49 gene of Marek's disease virus (MDV), is indispensable for virus cell-to-cell spreading. We show herein that MDV UL49 can be functionally replaced with avian and human viral orthologs. Replacement of MDV VP22 with that of avian gallid herpesvirus 3 or herpesvirus of turkey, whose residue identity with MDV is close to 60%, resulted in 73 and 131% changes in viral spreading, respectively. In contrast, VP22 replacement with human herpes simplex virus type 1 resulted in 14% plaque formation. Therefore, heterologous avian and human VP22 proteins share sufficient structural homology to support MDV cell-to-cell spreading, albeit with different efficiencies.
