Real-Time Visualization and Quantification of Human Cytomegalovirus Replication in Living Cells Using the ANCHOR DNA Labeling Technology.
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 39 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
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces latent lifelong infections in all human populations. Between 30% and nearly 100% of individuals are affected depending on the geographic area and socioeconomic conditions. The biology of the virus is difficult to explore due to its extreme sophistication and the lack of a pertinent animal model. Here, we present the first application of the ANCHOR DNA labeling system to a herpesvirus, enabling real-time imaging and direct monitoring of HCMV infection and replication in living human cells. The ANCHOR system is composed of a protein (OR) that specifically binds to a short, nonrepetitive DNA target sequence (ANCH) and spreads onto neighboring sequences by protein oligomerization. When the OR protein is fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), its accumulation results in a site-specific fluorescent focus. We created a recombinant ANCHOR-HCMV harboring an ANCH target sequence and the gene encoding the cognate OR-GFP fusion protein. Infection of permissive cells with ANCHOR-HCMV enables visualization of nearly the complete viral cycle until cell fragmentation and death. Quantitative analysis of infection kinetics and of viral DNA replication revealed cell-type-specific HCMV behavior and sensitivity to inhibitors. Our results show that the ANCHOR technology provides an efficient tool for the study of complex DNA viruses and a new, highly promising system for the development of innovative biotechnology applications.
