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

Glycerophospholipids are major components of cell membranes. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a glycerophospholipid that is involved in multiple cellular processes, such as membrane fusion, the cell cycle, autophagy, and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the role of PE biosynthesis in herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection by knocking out the host cell gene encoding phosphate cytidylyltransferase 2, ethanolamine (Pcyt2), which is a key rate-limiting enzyme in one of the two major pathways for PE biosynthesis. Pcyt2 knockout reduced HSV-1 replication and caused an accumulation of unenveloped and partially enveloped nucleocapsids in the cytoplasm of an HSV-1-infected cell culture. A similar phenotype was observed when infected cells were treated with meclizine, which is an inhibitor of Pcyt2. In addition, treatment of HSV-1-infected mice with meclizine significantly reduced HSV-1 replication in the mouse brains and improved their survival rates. These results indicated that PE biosynthesis mediated by Pcyt2 was required for efficient HSV-1 envelopment in the cytoplasm of infected cells and for viral replication and pathogenicity
