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

Ocular infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) frequently leads to recurrent infection, which is a major cause of corneal scarring. Thus, the prevention of the establishment of latency should be a primary goal of vaccination against HSV-1. To this end, we have examined the contribution of dendritic cells (DCs) to the efficacy of a vaccine against ocular HSV-1 infection. Transgenic mice (expressing a CD11c-diphtheria toxin receptor-green fluorescent protein construct) with a BALB/c background were immunized with a vaccine consisting of DNA that encodes five HSV-1 glycoproteins or were immunized with vector control DNA. The vaccinated mice were then depleted of their DCs through the injection of diphtheria toxin before and after ocular challenge with HSV-1. Analyses of HSV-1 replication in the eye, blepharitis, corneal scarring, and the survival of the infected mice upon primary infection indicated that DC depletion neither promoted nor compromised the efficacy of the vaccine. In contrast, DC depletion was associated with an approximately fivefold reduction in the level of latent virus in the trigeminal ganglia (TGs) of latently infected mice, as well as a significant reduction in the reactivation rate of latent virus. The possibility that DCs enhance the latency of HSV-1 in the TGs of ocularly infected mice suggests for the first time that DCs, rather than acting as "immune saviors," can exacerbate disease and compromise vaccine efficacy by enhancing viral latency and reactivation.
