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 H129 strain (H129) of neurotropic herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is the only known HSV-1 strain that spreads transneuronally in a predominantly anterograde direction, leading to wide use for anterograde tracing in neural circuit mapping. However, it remains unclear whether H129 spreads in a synapse-specific manner or what mechanisms underlie its transmission. Here a microfluidic culture system for primary mouse cortical neurons and several engineered tool viruses were used to visualize the synapse-specific transmission of H129. We show that H129 particles are packaged into 'virion vesicles' that exploit the molecular machinery of Ca
