Herpes simplex virus and the lexicon of latency and reactivation: a call for defining terms and building an integrated collective framework.
Review in F1000Research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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.
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 field of herpes simplex virus (HSV) latency and reactivation has been marked by controversy, which is not unexpected considering the complexities of the biology involved. While controversy is an important tool for digging to the bottom of difficult issues, we propose that unproductive conflict in the field arises in part from poorly defined terminology and the need for a collective framework. The uses of advanced global molecular and next-generation sequencing approaches and an increasing array of in vitro model systems have provided new molecular-level insights into HSV latency and reactivation, with the promise of expanding our concepts of these processes. However, our current framework and language are inadequate to effectively integrate new data streams into the established theories. In this brief perspective, we look back into the past to examine when and how the lexicon of HSV latency and reactivation arose in the literature and its evolution. We propose to open a dialogue among investigators for the purpose of updating and clearly defining terms used to describe these processes and to build a collective integrated framework to move our field forward.
