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

Numbers of nuclear speckles and paraspeckles components have been demonstrated to regulate herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication. However, how HSV-1 infection affects the two nuclear bodies, and whether this influence facilitates the expression of viral genes, remains elusive. In the current study, we found that HSV-1 infection leads to a redistribution of speckles and paraspeckles components. Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2), the core component of speckles, was associated with multiple paraspeckles components, including nuclear paraspeckles assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), PSPC1, and P54nrb, in HSV-1 infected cells. This association coordinates the transcription of viral genes by binding to the promoters of these genes. By association with the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and P300/CBP complex, NEAT1 and SRSF2 influenced the histone modifications located near viral genes. This study elucidates the interplay between speckles and paraspeckles following HSV-1 infection and provides insight into the mechanisms by which HSV-1 utilizes host cellular nuclear bodies to facilitate its life cycle.
