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

The central role of the chaperome in maintaining cellular proteostasis has seen numerous viral families evolve to parasitically exploit host chaperones in their life cycle. The HSP90 chaperone protein and its cochaperone Hop have both individually been shown to be essential factors for Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) lytic replication. Given the fundamental regulatory role that protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play in cellular biology, we reasoned that disrupting the Hop-HSP90 PPI may provide a new host-based target for inhibiting KSHV lytic replication. This study expands upon a previous report of non-natural peptides, which were found to disrupt the association between the Hop
