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 betaherpesvirus human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes several molecules that block antigen presentation by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. Humans also possess one other family of antigen-presenting molecules, the CD1 family; however, the effect of HCMV on CD1 expression is unknown. The majority of CD1 molecules are classified on the basis of homology as group 1 CD1 and are present almost exclusively on professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, which are a major target for HCMV infection and latency. We have determined that HCMV encodes multiple blocking strategies targeting group 1 CD1 molecules. CD1 transcription is strongly inhibited by the HCMV interleukin-10 homologue cmvIL-10. HCMV also blocks CD1 antigen presentation posttranscriptionally by the inhibition of CD1 localization to the cell surface. This function is not performed by a known HCMV MHC class I-blocking molecule and is substantially stronger than the blockage induced by herpes simplex virus type 1. Antigen presentation by CD1 is important for the development of the antiviral immune response and the generation of mature antigen-presenting cells. HCMV present in antigen-presenting cells thus blunts the immune response by the blockage of CD1 molecules.
