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 UL3 gene of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) is retained in the genome of defective interfering particles and encodes a ~33kDa myristylated protein. Further characterization showed that the UL3 gene is trans-activated only by the sole immediate early (IE) protein and encodes an early protein that is dispensable for EHV-1 replication and localizes in the tegument of purified virions. UL3-deleted EHV-1 (vL11ΔUL3) exhibits properties of host cell tropism, plaque size, and growth kinetics similar to those of the parental virus. Expression levels of EHV-1 proteins representative of all three gene classes in vL11ΔUL3-infected cells were identical to those in cells infected with parental virus. Mice intranasally infected with vL11ΔUL3 and parental virus showed no significant difference in mortality or virus lung titers. These findings suggest that the UL3 protein does not play a major role in the biology of EHV-1 in cell culture or virulence in the mouse.
