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 infectious cycle of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is intricately linked to the host's cell cycle. Viral gene expression can be initiated only in G(0)/G(1) phase. Once expressed, the immediate-early gene product IE2 prevents cellular DNA synthesis, arresting infected cells with a G(1) DNA content. This function is required for efficient viral replication in vitro. A prerequisite for addressing its in vivo relevance is the characterization of cell cycle-regulatory activities of CMV species for which animal models have been established. Here, we show that murine CMV (MCMV), like HCMV, has a strong antiproliferative capacity and arrests cells in G(1). Unexpectedly, and in contrast to HCMV, MCMV can also block cells that have passed through S phase by arresting them in G(2). Moreover, MCMV can also replicate in G(2) cells. This is made possible by the cell cycle-independent expression of MCMV immediate-early genes. Transfection experiments show that of several MCMV candidate genes, only immediate-early gene 3 (ie3), the homologue of HCMV IE2, exhibits cell cycle arrest activity. Accordingly, an MCMV ie3 deletion mutant has lost the ability to arrest cells in either G(1) or G(2). Thus, despite interspecies variations in the cell cycle dependence of viral gene expression, the central theme of HCMV IE2-induced cell cycle arrest is conserved in the murine counterpart, raising the possibility of studying its physiological relevance at the level of the whole organism.
