Role of the Herpes Simplex Virus CVSC Proteins at the Capsid Portal Vertex.
Article in Journal of virology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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 packaging of DNA into preformed capsids is a critical step during herpesvirus infection. For herpes simplex virus, this process requires the products of seven viral genes: the terminase proteins pUL15, pUL28, and pUL33; the capsid vertex-specific component (CVSC) proteins pUL17 and pUL25; and the portal proteins pUL6 and pUL32. The pUL6 portal dodecamer is anchored at one vertex of the capsid by interactions with the adjacent triplexes as well as helical density attributed to the pUL17 and pUL25 subunits of the CVSC. To define the roles and structures of the CVSC proteins in virus assembly and DNA packaging, we isolated a number of recombinant viruses expressing pUL25, pUL17, and pUL36 fused with green or red fluorescent proteins as well as viruses with specific deletions in the CVSC genes. Biochemical and structural studies of these mutants demonstrated that (i) four of the helices in the CVSC helix bundle can be attributed to two copies each of pUL36 and pUL25, (ii) pUL17 and pUL6 are required for capsid binding of the terminase complex in the nucleus, (iii) pUL17 is important for determining the site of the first cleavage reaction generating replicated genomes with termini derived from the long-arm component of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) genome, (iv) pUL36 serves no direct role in cleavage/packaging, (v) cleavage and stable packaging of the viral genome involve an ordered interaction of the terminase complex and pUL25 with pUL17 at the portal vertex, and (vi) packaging of the viral genome results in a dramatic displacement of the portal.
