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 1 (HSV-1) causes lifelong recurrent infections. Following primary infection of the oral or genital mucosa, HSV-1 travels retrogradely through axons and establishes latency in the cell body of ganglionic neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Periodic reactivation in neurons and anterograde transport of virions back to peripheral regions causes oral or genital ulcerations. Many host and viral factors implicated in retrograde and anterograde transport of HSV-1 have been identified. In particular, studies reported that introducing five amino acid substitutions in the R2 region of the viral tegument protein UL37 was sufficient to completely eliminate retrograde transport of HSV-1 strain F. Here, we introduced the same R2 mutations in the highly neurovirulent HSV-1 strain 17+. We report that this R2
