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

Current antivirals effectively target diverse viruses at various stages of their life cycles. Nevertheless, curative therapy has remained elusive for important pathogens, such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and herpesviruses, in large part due to viral latency and the evolution of resistance to existing therapies. Here, we review the discovery of viral master circuits: virus-encoded autoregulatory gene networks that autonomously control viral expression programs (i.e., between active, latent, and abortive fates). These circuits offer the opportunity for a new class of antivirals that could lead to intrinsic combination-antiviral therapies within a single molecule-evolutionary escape from such circuit-disrupting antivirals would require simultaneous evolution of both the viral cis regulatory element (e.g., the DNA-binding site) and the trans element (e.g., the transcription factor) in order for the virus to recapitulate a circuit that would not be disrupted. We review the architectures of these fate-regulating master circuits in HIV-1 and the human herpesvirus cytomegalovirus along with potential circuit-disruption strategies that may ultimately enable escape-resistant antiviral therapies.
