A cytomegaloviral protein reveals a dual role for STAT2 in IFN-{gamma} signaling and antiviral responses.
Article in The Journal of experimental medicine, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 100 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
A mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) gene conferring interferon (IFN) resistance was identified. This gene, M27, encodes a 79-kD protein that selectively binds and down-regulates for signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-2, but it has no effect on STAT1 activation and signaling. The absence of pM27 conferred MCMV susceptibility to type I IFNs (alpha/beta), but it had a much more dramatic effect on type II IFNs (gamma) in vitro and in vivo. A comparative analysis of M27(+) and M27(-) MCMV revealed that the antiviral efficiency of IFN-gamma was partially dependent on the synergistic action of type I IFNs that required STAT2. Moreover, STAT2 was directly activated by IFN-gamma. This effect required IFN receptor expression and was independent of type I IFNs. IFN-gamma induced increasing levels of tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT2 in M27(-) MCMV-infected cells that were essential for the antiviral potency of IFN-gamma. pM27 represents a new strategy for simultaneous evasions from types I and II IFNs, and it documents an unknown biological significance for STAT2 in antiviral IFN-gamma responses.
