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

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of acyclovir (ACV) on the TLR9 signaling pathway after human immortalized epidermal (HaCaT) cell infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Methods: In this study, an Results: A total of 896 significant changes in gene expression were identified by the transcriptome analysis, including 314 upregulated genes and 582 downregulated genes. GO enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly related to CC includes the ubiquitin ligase complex, mitochondrial protein-containing complex, DNA-binding transcription activator activity, exonuclease activity, catabolic process, nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process; KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly related to Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, herpes simplex virus 1 infection, and TNF signaling pathway. The RT-PCR results were confirmed to be basically consistent with the sequencing results. Conclusion: ACV altered the transcriptome level of HSV-2 infection in HaCaT cells. The RT-PCR results confirmed that ACV intervened in HSV-2 infection through the TLR9 signaling pathway.
