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

Herpesviruses must amplify their DNA to load viral particles and they do so in replication compartments. The development and functions of replication compartments during DNA amplification are poorly understood, though. Here we examine 2 functionally distinct replicons in the same cells to dissect DNA amplification within replication compartments. Using a combination of single-cell assays, computational modeling, and population approaches, we show that compartments initially were seeded by single genomes of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Their amplification subsequently took 13 to 14 h in individual cells during which their compartments occupied up to 30% of the nucleus and the nuclear volume grew by 50%. The compartmental volumes increased in proportion to the amount of DNA and viral replication proteins they contained. Each compartment synthesized similar levels of DNA, indicating that the total number of compartments determined the total levels of DNA amplification. Further, the amplification, which depended on the number of origins, was regulated differently early and late during the lytic phase; early during the lytic phase, the templates limited DNA synthesis, while later the templates were in excess, coinciding with a decline in levels of the viral replication protein, BMRF1, in the replication compartments. These findings show that replication compartments are factories in which EBV DNA amplification is both clonal and coordinated.
