Ubiquitin-specific protease 15 interacts directly with the HSV-1 alkaline nuclease and facilitates viral recombination and replication fork stability.
Article in Journal of virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 replicates in the nucleus of the host cell and utilizes many cellular proteins to facilitate DNA replication. HSV-1 DNA replication is closely linked with homologous recombination, and HSV-1 encodes a two-subunit recombinase consisting of an exonuclease (UL12) and a single-strand DNA-binding protein (ICP8). We identified the cellular deubiquitinating enzyme USP15 as a new UL12-binding partner. USP15 is one of the most enriched proteins on viral DNA and has recently been implicated in regulating cellular homologous recombination. Utilizing isolation of proteins on nascent DNA (iPOND) to compare the proteins on wild-type and UL12-deficient viruses, we observed that USP15 is not recruited to newly replicated DNA in the absence of UL12. We also observed that UL12 and USP15 interact directly
