Ultrastructural and biochemical basis for hepatitis C virus morphogenesis.
Review in Virus genes, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Chronic infection with HCV is a leading cause of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. One of the least understood steps in the HCV life cycle is the morphogenesis of new viral particles. HCV infection alters the lipid metabolism and generates a variety of microenvironments in the cell cytoplasm that protect viral proteins and RNA promoting viral replication and assembly. Lipid droplets (LDs) have been proposed to link viral RNA synthesis and virion assembly by physically associating these viral processes. HCV assembly, envelopment, and maturation have been shown to take place at specialized detergent-resistant membranes in the ER, rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, supporting the synthesis of luminal LDs-containing ApoE. HCV assembly involves a regulated allocation of viral and host factors to viral assembly sites. Then, virus budding takes place through encapsidation of the HCV genome and viral envelopment in the ER. Interaction of ApoE with envelope proteins supports the viral particle acquisition of lipids and maturation. HCV secretion has been suggested to entail the ion channel activity of viral p7, several components of the classical trafficking and autophagy pathways, ESCRT, and exosome-mediated export of viral RNA. Here, we review the most recent advances in virus morphogenesis and the interplay between viral and host factors required for the formation of HCV virions.
