Role of the DNA Binding Activity of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 VP22 in Evading AIM2-Dependent Inflammasome Activation Induced by the Virus.
Article in Journal of virology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
AIM2 is a cytosolic DNA sensor of the inflammasome, which induces critical innate immune responses against various invading pathogens. Earlier biochemical studies showed that the binding of AIM2 to DNA triggered the self-oligomerization of AIM2, which is essential for AIM2 inflammasome activation. We recently reported that VP22, a virion tegument protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), inhibited activation of the AIM2 inflammasome in HSV-1-infected cells by preventing AIM2 oligomerization. VP22 binds non-specifically to DNA; however, its role in HSV-1 replication is unclear. We investigated the role of VP22 DNA binding activity in the VP22-mediated inhibition of AIM2 inflammasome activation. We identified a VP22 domain encoded by amino acids 227 to 258 as the minimal domain required for its binding to DNA
