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

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) encodes at least six glycoproteins. Glycoprotein I (gI), the product of open reading frame 67, is a 58- to 62-kDa glycoprotein found in VZV-infected cells. We constructed two VZV gI deletion mutants. Immunoprecipitation of VZV gE from infected cells indicated that cells infected with VZV deleted for gI expressed a gE that was larger (100 kDa) than that expressed in cells infected with the parental virus (98 kDa). Cell-associated or cell-free VZV deleted for gI grew to lower titers in melanoma cells than did parental VZV. While VZV deleted for gI replicated in other human cells, the mutant virus replicated to very low titers in primary guinea pig and monkey cells and did not replicate in Vero cells. When compared with the parental virus, rescued viruses, in which the gI deletion was restored with a wild-type allele, showed a similarly sized gE and comparable growth patterns in melanoma and Vero cells. VZV deleted for gI entered Vero cells; however, viral DNA synthesis was impaired in these cells. The VZV gI mutant was slightly impaired for adsorption to human cells. Thus, VZV gI is required for replication of the virus in Vero cells, for efficient replication of the virus in nonhuman cells, and for normal processing of gE.
