The chemokine receptor homologue encoded by US27 of human cytomegalovirus is heavily glycosylated and is present in infected human foreskin fibroblasts and enveloped virus particles.
Article in Virus research, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the beta-herpesvirus family, encodes four homologues of cellular G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). One of these, the protein product of HCMV open reading frame (ORF) UL33, has been identified in HCMV-infected cells and virus particles and shown to be heat-aggregatable and N-glycosylated. Another, the product of ORF US28, has been functionally characterized as a beta-chemokine receptor. Here we report the use of RT-PCR, coupled in vitro transcription-translation, immunoprecipitation, and Western immunoassays to (i) show that RNA from the open reading frame US27 appears predominantly during the late phase of replication; (ii) identify the protein encoded by HCMV US27 in infected cells and enveloped virus particles; (iii) demonstrate that the US27-encoded protein is heterogeneously N-glycosylated and resolves as two species following treatment with peptide N-glycosidase F; and (iv) show that both the recombinant and deglycoylated infected cell US27 protein aggregate when heated in the presence of SDS prior to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels, a property which is abrogated with the addition of urea to sample buffer.
