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

APOBEC1 (A1) is a cytidine deaminase involved in the regulation of lipids in the small intestine. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous pathogen that is capable of infecting neurons in the brain, causing encephalitis. Here, we show that A1 is induced during encephalitis in neurons of rats infected with HSV-1. In cells stably expressing A1, HSV-1 infection resulted in significantly reduced virus replication compared to that in control cells. Infectivity could be restored to levels comparable to those observed for control cells if A1 expression was silenced by specific A1 short hairpin RNAs (shRNA). Moreover, cytidine deaminase activity appeared to be essential for this inhibition and led to an impaired accumulation of viral mRNA transcripts and DNA copy numbers. The sequencing of viral gene UL54 DNA, extracted from infected A1-expressing cells, revealed G-to-A and C-to-T transitions, indicating that A1 associates with HSV-1 DNA. Taken together, our results demonstrate a model in which A1 induction during encephalitis in neurons may aid in thwarting HSV-1 infection.
