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 type 1 latent infection in sensory neurons is characterized by the highly restricted transcription of viral genes. The latency-associated transcripts (LAT) family members are the only transcripts that can be identified in large amounts in latently infected cells. The most abundant LAT species is a 2-kb RNA that results from splicing of a rare primary transcript. Analysis of a LAT mutant virus (TB1) in cell culture revealed an aberrant splicing pattern and production of a stable small (0.95-kb) LAT intron. A panel of deletion constructs expressing truncated LAT in transiently transfected cells mapped the region influencing stability to the 3' end of the LAT intron. This region encompasses the branch point and a putative stable stem-loop hairpin structure immediately upstream of the splice acceptor consensus polypyrimidine tract. Mutagenic analysis of the sequence in this region confirmed our hypothesis that the stem-loop structure is important for efficient splicing by influencing the selection of a nonconsensus branch point. Changes in this structure correlate with changes in branch point selection and production of an unstable 2-kb LAT.
