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

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common congenital infection, and is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality in the newborn infant. Guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) is transmitted through the placenta with resulting fetal infection, and provides an excellent model for the study of fetal cytomegalovirus infection. We have characterized a cluster of late GPCMV genes, identifying GPCMV homologs of the HCMV G protein-coupled receptor gene, UL33; the transcriptional repressor gene, UL34 and two genes encoding tegument proteins, UL32 and UL35. We also identified the GPCMV homolog of UL37, an antiapoptotic gene. Surprisingly, no GPCMV homolog to HCMV UL36 was identified in the same genomic region. Furthermore, two of the predicted GPCMV proteins share greater identity with HHV-6 and/or HHV-7 homologs than with other cytomegalovirus homologs. The identification of GPCMV homologs of conserved viral genes, particularly genes involved in pathogenicity such as the G protein-coupled receptors, will facilitate future analysis of the role of these genes in infections.
