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

Although herpes simplex virus (HSV) replicates in noncycling as well as cycling cells, including terminally differentiated neurons, it has recently been shown that viral replication requires the activities of cellular cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) (L. M. Schang, J. Phillips, and P. A. Schaffer, J. Virol. 72:5626-5637, 1998). Since we were unable to isolate HSV mutants resistant to two cdk inhibitors, Olomoucine and Roscovitine (Rosco), we hypothesized that cdks may be required for more than one viral function during HSV replication. In the experiments presented here, we tested this hypothesis by measuring the efficiency of (i) viral replication; (ii) expression of selected immediate-early (IE) (ICP0 and ICP4), early (E) (ICP8 and TK), and late (L) (gC) genes; and (iii) viral DNA synthesis in infected cultures to which Rosco was added after IE or IE and E proteins had already been synthesized. Rosco inhibited HSV replication, transcription of IE and E genes, and viral DNA synthesis when added at 1, 2, or 6 h postinfection or after release from a 6-h cycloheximide block. Transcription of a representative L gene, gC, was also inhibited by Rosco under all conditions examined. We conclude from these studies that cellular cdks are required for transcription of E as well as IE genes. In contrast, steady-state levels of at least one cellular housekeeping gene were not affected by Rosco. The requirement of viral IE and E transcription for cellular cdks may reflect either a requirement for specific cdk-activated cellular and/or viral transcription factors or a more global requirement for cdks in the transcriptional activation of the viral genome.
