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

To simplify the detection of infectious human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), we generated a cell line that produced luciferase in a dose-dependent manner upon HCMV infection. Using this cell line, we identified anti-HCMV compounds from a diverse library of 9,600 compounds. One of them, 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridyl)piperidine-4-carboxamide (DPPC), was effective against HCMV (Towne strain) infection of human lung fibroblast cells at a 50% effective concentration of 2.5 microM. DPPC also inhibited the growth of clinical HCMV isolates and guinea pig and mouse cytomegaloviruses. Experiments using various time frames for treatment of the cells with DPPC demonstrated that DPPC was effective during the first 24 h after HCMV infection. DPPC treatment decreased not only viral DNA replication but also IE1 and IE2 expression at mRNA and protein levels in the HCMV-infected cells. However, DPPC did not inhibit the attachment of HCMV particles to the cell surface. DPPC is a unique compound that targets the very early phase of cytomegalovirus infection, probably by disrupting a pathway that is important after viral entry but before immediate-early gene expression.
