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

Both emerging viruses and well-known viral pathogens endowed with neurotropism can either directly impair neuronal functions or induce physio-pathological changes by diffusing from the periphery through neurosensory-epithelial connections. However, developing a reliable and reproducible in vitro system modeling the connectivity between the different human sensory neurons and peripheral tissues is still a challenge and precludes the deepest comprehension of viral latency and reactivation at the cellular and molecular levels. This study shows a stable topographic neurosensory-epithelial connection on a chip using human stem cell-derived dorsal root ganglia (DRG) organoids. Bulk and single-cell transcriptomics showed that different combinations of key receptors for herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) are expressed by each sensory neuronal cell type. This neuronal-epithelial circuitry enabled a detailed analysis of HSV infectivity, faithfully modeling its dynamics and cell type specificity. The reconstitution of an organized connectivity between human sensory neurons and keratinocytes into microfluidic chips provides a powerful in vitro platform for modeling viral latency and reactivation of human viral pathogens.
