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

Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) interferes with the MHC class I pathway of antigen presentation. The type I transmembrane glycoprotein gp40, encoded by the gene m152, retains major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I complexes in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC)/cis-Golgi. These MHC class I complexes are stable, show an extended half-life and do not exchange beta(2)-microglobulin, whereas gp40 reaches an endosomal/lysosomal compartment where it subsequently is degraded. The analysis of regions within the viral protein that are essential for MHC class I retention revealed that a secreted form of gp40, lacking the cytoplasmic tail and the transmembrane region, still has the capacity to retain MHC class I complexes. Continuous expression of gp40 is not required for MHC class I retention. Our data indicate that the retention of MHC class I complexes in the ERGIC/cis-Golgi is triggered by gp40 and does not require the further presence of the viral protein.
