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

The assembly of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with recombinant systems has not been accomplished. An understanding of specific interactions between individual capsid proteins could point to unique characteristics of the assembly process of HCMV capsids. Similar to its herpes simplex virus counterpart, VP26 (UL35), the HCMV smallest capsid protein (SCP; UL48/49) decorates hexons in the mature capsid. In contrast to VP26, the HCMV SCP is essential for virus assembly. In this study we have shown that the major capsid protein (MCP) and the SCP interact in the cytoplasm of transfected cells and can be coprecipitated from insect cells expressing the MCP and the SCP. Using a two-hybrid reporter assay, we demonstrated that two linear sequences within the SCP are sufficient for SCP and MCP interactions.
