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

Equid alphaherpesvirus 1 (EHV1) is a DNA virus that causes severe disease in equids. Some strains are neurotropic and cause disease in the central nervous system, whereas others are non-neurotropic and can cause negative reproductive outcomes. Mechanisms governing EHV1 pathotype are not understood. However, EHV1 pathotypes have different infection efficiencies and replication kinetics in various cell types. They are also differentially susceptible to epigenetic inhibitors. Aside from this observation little is known about EHV1 chromatin or how its regulation influences infection. To build knowledge of EHV1 chromatin, we characterized equine histone mobility during EHV1 infection of equine cells using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. We show that non-neurotropic or neurotropic EHV1 equally mobilized canonical (H2A, H2B, H3.1, and H4) and variant (H2A.B, H2A.Z, H2A.X, macroH2A, and H3.3) core and linker H1.2 histones. EHV1 mobilized dynamic histone populations by increasing their free pools and fast chromatin exchange. With the exception of H2A.B, all histones were most mobile within EHV1 replication compartments where EHV1 chromatin is enriched. Such mobility is consistent with highly dynamic viral chromatin. Distinct histone mobilities within EHV1- or infected-cell chromatin also indicate that different mechanisms regulate either chromatin. EHV1 mobilization of histones is similar to that reported for herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). This unique chromatin regulatory strategy is thus conserved among alphaherpesviruses in the
