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

Glycoprotein D (gD) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) plays a key role in multiple events during infection including virus entry, cell-to-cell spread, and virus-induced syncytia formation. Here, we provide evidence that an arginine/lysine cluster located at the transmembrane-cytoplasm interface of gD critically contributes to viral spread and cell-cell fusion. Our studies began with the discovery that packaging of gD into virions is almost completely blocked in the absence of tegument protein UL16. We subsequently identified a novel, direct, and regulated interaction between UL16 and gD, but this was not important for syncytia formation. However, a mutational analysis of the membrane-proximal basic residues of gD revealed that they are needed for the gBsyn phenotype, salubrinal-induced fusion of HSV-infected cells, and cell-to-cell spread. Finally, we found that these same gD tail basic residues are not required for cell fusion induced by a gKsyn variant.
