Article in Journal of virology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Previously, we have shown that the amino terminus of glycoprotein K (gK) binds to the amino terminus of gB and that deletion of the amino-terminal 38 amino acids of gK prevents herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection of mouse trigeminal ganglia after ocular infection and virus entry into neuronal axons. Recently, it has been shown that gB binds to Akt during virus entry and induces Akt phosphorylation and intracellular calcium release. Proximity ligation and two-way immunoprecipitation assays using monoclonal antibodies against gB and Akt-1 phosphorylated at S473 [Akt-1(S473)] confirmed that HSV-1(McKrae) gB interacted with Akt-1(S473) during virus entry into human neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) cells and induced the release of intracellular calcium. In contrast, the gB specified by HSV-1(McKrae) gKΔ31-68, lacking the amino-terminal 38 amino acids of gK, failed to interact with Akt-1(S473) and induce intracellular calcium release. The Akt inhibitor miltefosine inhibited the entry of McKrae but not the gKΔ31-68 mutant into SK-N-SH cells. Importantly, the entry of the gKΔ31-68 mutant but not McKrae into SK-N-SH cells treated with the endocytosis inhibitors pitstop-2 and dynasore hydrate was significantly inhibited, indicating that McKrae gKΔ31-68 entered via endocytosis. These results suggest that the amino terminus of gK functions to regulate the fusion of the viral envelope with cellular plasma membranes.
