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 herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early phosphoprotein infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) is a potent transcriptional activator of viral genes and is required for efficient viral replication and reactivation from latency. However, it is largely unknown what role specific cellular factors play in the transactivator function of ICP0. With the long-term goal of identifying these factors, we developed a cell-based assay in a 96-well format to measure this activity of ICP0. We designed a system using a set of HSV-1 GFP reporter viruses in which the expression of GFP is potently induced by ICP0 in cell culture. The initial feasibility of this system was confirmed over a 24-h period by fluorescence microscopy. We adapted this assay to a 96-well plate format, quantifying GFP expression with a fluorescence scanner. Our results indicate that the cell-based assay we developed is a valid and effective method for examining the transactivating activity of ICP0. This assay can be used to identify cellular factors that regulate the transactivating activity of ICP0.
