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

Cytokines regulate viral gene expression with important consequences for viral replication and pathogenesis. Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is a key regulator of chronic murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gammaHV68) infection and a potent inhibitor of gammaHV68 reactivation from latency. Macrophages are the cell type that is responsive to the IFN-gamma-mediated control of gammaHV68 reactivation; however, the molecular mechanism of this IFN-gamma action is undefined. Here we report that IFN-gamma inhibits lytic replication of gammaHV68 in primary bone marrow-derived macrophages and decreases transcript levels for the essential lytic switch gene 50. Interestingly, IFN-gamma suppresses the activity of the two known gene 50 promoters, demonstrating that an inflammatory cytokine can directly regulate the promoters for the gammaHV68 lytic switch gene. Stat1, but not IFN-alpha/beta signaling, is required for IFN-gamma action. Moreover, Stat1 deficiency increases basal gammaHV68 replication, gene 50 expression, and promoter activity. Together, these data identify IFN-gamma and Stat1 as being negative regulators of the gammaHV68 lytic cycle and raise the possibility that gammaHV68 maintains IFN-gamma/Stat1-responsive gene 50 promoters to facilitate cell-extrinsic control over the interchange between the lytic and latent cycles.
