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

Glycoprotein H (gH) of herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) is involved in the complex mechanism of membrane fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell. Membrane interacting regions and potential fusion peptides have been identified in HSV-1 gH as well as glycoprotein B (gB). Because of the complex fusion mechanism of HSV-1, which requires four viral glycoproteins, and because there are only structural data for gB and glycoprotein D, many questions regarding the mechanism by which HSV-1 fuses its envelope with the host cell membrane remain unresolved. Previous studies have shown that peptides derived from certain regions of gH have the potential to interact with membranes, and based on these findings we have generated a set of peptides containing mutations in one of these domains, gH-(626-644), to investigate further the functional role of this region. Using a combination of biochemical, spectroscopic, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, we showed that the alpha-helical nature of this stretch of amino acids in gH is important for membrane interaction and that the aromatic residues, tryptophan and tyrosine, are critical for induction of fusion.
