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 mechanism(s) by which herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) latency is established in neurons is not known. In this study, we examined the effect of dendritic cells (DCs) on the level of HSV-1 latency in trigeminal ganglia (TGs) of ocularly infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. We found that immunization of wild-type mice with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) DNA, which increases the number of DCs, increased the amount of latency in infected mice. Conversely, depletion of DCs was associated with reduced latency. Latency was also significantly reduced in Flt3L(-/-) and CD8(-/-) mice. Interestingly, immunization of Flt3L(-/-) but not CD8(-/-) mice with Flt3L DNA increased latency. Transfer experiments using DCs expanded ex vivo with Flt3L or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor suggested that increased latency was associated with the presence of lymphoid-related (CD11c(+) CD8alpha(+)) DCs, while reduced latency was associated with myeloid-related (CD11c(+) CD8alpha(-)) DCs. Modulation of DC numbers by Flt3L DNA immunization or depletion did not alter acute virus replication in the eye or TG or eye disease in ocularly infected mice. Our results suggest that CD11c(+) CD8alpha(+) DCs directly or indirectly increase the amount of HSV-1 latency in mouse TGs.
