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

During polyomavirus (PyV) infection, host proteins localize to subnuclear domains, termed viral replication centers (VRCs), to mediate viral genome replication. Although the protein composition and spatial organization of VRCs have been described using high-resolution immunofluorescence microscopy, little is known about the temporal dynamics of VRC formation over the course of infection. We used live cell fluorescence microscopy to analyze VRC formation during murine PyV (MuPyV) infection of a mouse fibroblast cell line that constitutively expresses a GFP-tagged replication protein A complex subunit (GFP-RPA32). The RPA complex forms a heterotrimer (RPA70/32/14) that regulates cellular DNA replication and repair and is a known VRC component. We validated previous observations that GFP-RPA32 relocalized to sites of cellular DNA damage in uninfected cells and to VRCs in MuPyV-infected cells. We then used GFP-RPA32 as a marker of VRC formation and expansion during live cell microscopy of infected cells. VRC formation occurred at variable times post-infection, but the rate of VRC expansion was similar between cells. Additionally, we found that the early viral protein, small TAg (ST), was required for VRC expansion but not VRC formation, consistent with the role of ST in promoting efficient vDNA replication. These results demonstrate the dynamic nature of VRCs over the course of infection and establish an approach for analyzing viral replication in live cells.
