Regulation of Human Cytomegalovirus Secondary Envelopment by a C-Terminal Tetralysine Motif in pUL71.
Article in Journal of virology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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) secondary envelopment requires the viral tegument protein pUL71. The lack of pUL71 results in a complex ultrastructural phenotype with increased numbers of viral capsids undergoing envelopment at the cytoplasmic virus assembly complex. Here, we report a role of the pUL71 C terminus in secondary envelopment. Mutant viruses expressing C-terminally truncated pUL71 (TB71del327-361 and TB71del348-351) exhibited an impaired secondary envelopment in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. Further mutational analyses of the C terminus revealed a tetralysine motif whose mutation (TB71mutK348-351A) resulted in an envelopment defect that was undistinguishable from the defect caused by truncation of the pUL71 C terminus. Interestingly, not all morphological alterations that define the ultrastructural phenotype of a TB71stop virus were found in cells infected with the C-terminally mutated viruses. This suggests that pUL71 provides additional functions that modulate HCMV morphogenesis and are harbored elsewhere in pUL71. This is also reflected by an intermediate growth defect of the C-terminally mutated viruses compared to the growth of the TB71stop virus. Electron tomography and three-dimensional visualization of different stages of secondary envelopment in TB71mutK348-351A-infected cells showed unambiguously the formation of a bud neck. Furthermore, we provide evidence for progressive tegument formation linked to advancing grades of capsid envelopment, suggesting that tegumentation and envelopment are intertwined processes. Altogether, we identified the importance of the pUL71 C terminus and, specifically, of a positively charged tetralysine motif for HCMV secondary envelopment.
