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

Us3 is a serine-threonine protein kinase encoded by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). We have identified UL47, a major virion protein, as a novel physiological substrate of Us3. In vitro kinase assays and systematic analysis of mutations at putative Us3 phosphorylation sites near the nuclear localization signal of UL47 showed that serine at residue 77 (Ser-77) was required for Us3 phosphorylation of UL47. Replacement of UL47 Ser-77 by alanine produced aberrant accumulation of UL47 at the nuclear rim and impaired the nuclear localization of UL47 in a significant fraction of infected cells. The same defect in UL47 localization was produced by an amino acid substitution in Us3 that inactivated its protein kinase activity. In contrast, a phosphomimetic mutation at UL47 Ser-77 restored wild-type nuclear localization. The UL47 S77A mutation also reduced viral replication in the mouse cornea and the development of herpes stromal keratitis in mice. In addition, UL47 formed a stable complex with Us3 in infected cells, and nuclear localization of Us3 was significantly impaired in the absence of UL47. These results suggested that Us3 phosphorylation of UL47 Ser-77 promoted the nuclear localization of UL47 in cell cultures and played a critical role in viral replication and pathogenesis in vivo. Furthermore, UL47 appeared to be required for efficient nuclear localization of Us3 in infected cells. Therefore, Us3 protein kinase and its substrate UL47 demonstrated a unique regulatory feature in that they reciprocally regulated their subcellular localization in infected cells.
