Influence of sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling on HCMV replication in human embryonal lung fibroblasts.
Article in Medical microbiology and immunology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a common pathogen, which causes severe or even deadly diseases in immunocompromised patients. In addition, congenital HCMV infection represents a major health concern affecting especially the lung tissue of the susceptible individuals. Antivirals are a useful strategy to treat HCMV-caused diseases. However, all approved drugs target viral proteins but significant toxicity and an increasing resistance against these compounds have been observed. In infected cells, numerous host molecules have been identified to play important roles during HCMV replication. Among others, HCMV infection depends on the presence of bioactive sphingolipids. In this study, the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling in HCMV-infected human embryonal lung fibroblasts (HELF) was analyzed. Viral replication depended on the functional activity of sphingosine kinases (SK). During SK inhibition, addition of extracellular S1P restored HCMV replication. Moreover, neutralization of extracellular S1P by anti-S1P antibodies decreased HCMV replication as well. While the application of FTY720 as an functional antagonist of S1P receptor (S1PR)
