Review in Trends in microbiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 106 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

After replicating in surface epithelia, herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) enters the axonal terminals of peripheral neurons. The viral genome translocates to the nucleus, where it establishes a specialized infection known as latency, re-emerging periodically to seed new infections. Studies using cultured neuron models that faithfully recapitulate the molecular hallmarks of latency and reactivation defined in live animal models have provided fresh insight into the control of latency and connections to neuronal physiology. With this comes a growing appreciation for how the life cycles of HSV-1 and other herpesviruses are governed by key host pathways controlling metabolic homeostasis and cell identity.
