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 small molecule salubrinal has antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and inhibits dephosphorylation of eIF2 alpha mediated by the HSV-1 protein ICP34.5. We investigated whether salubrinal's activities in infected cells depend on ICP34.5. An ICP34.5 deletion mutant was as sensitive as wild type HSV-1 to salubrinal inhibition of plaque formation in Vero cells. However, salubrinal induced formation of syncytia in infected Vero cells, which was enhanced by ICP34.5 mutations. Expression of HSV-1 US11 with immediate early kinetics, which is known to suppress the effects of ICP34.5 mutations, resulted in slight resistance to salubrinal in murine embryonic fibroblasts, and substantial resistance in those cells when ICP34.5 was additionally mutated. ICP34.5 mutations, but not immediate early expression of US11, prevented salubrinal's ability to increase phosphorylation of eIF2 alpha during HSV-1 infection of Vero cells. Taken together, our data indicate that salubrinal has both ICP34.5-dependent and -independent activities in HSV-1 infected cells.
