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

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) causes lifelong infections worldwide, and currently there is no efficient cure or vaccine. HSV-1-derived tools, such as neuronal circuit tracers and oncolytic viruses, have been used extensively; however, further genetic engineering of HSV-1 is hindered by its complex genome structure. In the present study, we designed and constructed a synthetic platform for HSV-1 based on H129-G4. The complete genome was constructed from 10 fragments through 3 rounds of synthesis using transformation-associated recombination (TAR) in yeast, and was named H129-Syn-G2. The H129-Syn-G2 genome contained two copies of the gfp gene and was transfected into cells to rescue the virus. According to growth curve assay and electron microscopy results, the synthetic viruses exhibited more optimized growth properties and similar morphogenesis compared to the parental virus. This synthetic platform will facilitate further manipulation of the HSV-1 genome for the development of neuronal circuit tracers, oncolytic viruses, and vaccines.
