Self-organization of the vesicular stomatitis virus nucleocapsid into a bullet shape.
Article in Nature communications, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The typical bullet shape of Rhabdoviruses is thought to rely on the matrix protein for stabilizing the nucleocapsid coil. Here we scrutinize the morphology of purified and recombinant nucleocapsids of vesicular stomatitis virus in vitro. We elucidate pH and ionic strength conditions for their folding into conical tips and further growth into whole bullets, and provide cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of the bullet tip and the helical trunk. We address conformational variability of the reconstituted nucleocapsids and the issue of constraints imposed by the binding of matrix protein. Our findings bridge the gap between the isolated nucleoprotein-RNA string in its form of an undulating ribbon, and the tight bullet-shaped virion skeleton.
