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 immediate-early (IE) promoters contain the TAATGARAT motif which acts as a target site for the cellular POU family transcription factors Oct-1 and Oct-2. Here we show that other members of the POU family that are expressed in sensory neurons can also affect IE promoter activity. In particular, two members of the Brn-3 family of POU proteins Brn-3a and Brn-3c can activate the IE-1 and IE-3 promoters when co-transfected into fibroblasts and neuronal cells whereas a third member Brn-3b represses IE promoter activity. In contrast, Brn-3 proteins cannot overcome the inhibitory effect of neuronal Oct-2 on IE promoter activity in co-transfections nor do they prevent transactivation of the IE promoters by the Oct-1-Vmw65 complex. The potential regulation of the IE promoters by several different neuronally expressed POU proteins during the initiation, maintenance and re-activation of latent infection in sensory neurons is discussed.
