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

In addition to transmission involving extracellular free particles, a generally accepted model of virus propagation is one wherein virus replicates in one cell, producing infectious particles that transmit to the next cell via cell junctions or induced polarized contacts. This mechanism of spread is especially important in the presence of neutralizing antibody, and the concept underpins analysis of virus spread, plaque size, viral and host functions, and general mechanisms of virus propagation. Here, we demonstrate a novel process involved in cell-to-cell transmission of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human skin cells that has not previously been appreciated. Using time-lapse microscopy of fluorescent viruses, we show that HSV infection induces the polarized migration of skin cells into the site of infection. In the presence of neutralizing antibody, uninfected skin cells migrate to the initial site of infection and spread over infected cells to become infected in a spatially confined cluster containing hundreds of cells. The cells in this cluster do not undergo cytocidal cell lysis but harbor abundant enveloped particles within cells and cell-free virus within interstitial regions below the cluster surface. Cells at the base and outside the cluster were generally negative for virus immediate-early expression. We further show, using spatially separated monolayer assays, that at least one component of this induced migration is the paracrine stimulation of a cytotactic response from infected cells to uninfected cells. The existence of this process changes our concept of virus transmission and the potential functions, virus, and host factors involved.
