1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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) remains a major public health burden domestically and abroad. Current approved therapies, including ganciclovir, are only moderately efficacious, with many transplant patients suffering from a variety of side effects. A major impediment to the efficacy of current anti-HCMV drugs is their antiviral effects are restricted to the lytic stage of viral replication. Consequently, the non-lytic stages of the viral lifecycle remain major sources of HCMV infection associated with transplant recipients and ultimately the cause of morbidity and mortality. While work continues on new antivirals that block lytic replication, the dormant stages of HCMV's unique lifecycle need to be concurrently assessed for new therapeutic interventions. In this review, we will examine the role that the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling axis plays during the different stages of HCMV's lifecycle, and describe the advantages of targeting this cellular pathway as an antiviral strategy. In particular, we focus on the potential of exploiting the unique modifications HCMV imparts on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway during quiescent infection of monocytes, which serve an essential role in the dissemination strategy of the virus.
