Structure-Function Analysis of Two Interacting Vaccinia Proteins That Are Critical for Viral Morphogenesis: L2 and A30.5.
Article in Journal of virology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
An enduring mystery in poxvirology is the mechanism by which virion morphogenesis is accomplished. A30.5 and L2 are two small regulatory proteins that are essential for this process. Previous studies have shown that vaccinia A30.5 and L2 localize to the ER and interact during infection, but how they facilitate morphogenesis is unknown. To interrogate the relationship between A30.5 and L2, we generated inducible complementing cell lines (CV1-HA-L2; CV1-3xFLAG-A30.5) and deletion viruses (vΔL2; vΔA30.5). Loss of either protein resulted in a block in morphogenesis and a significant (>100-fold) decrease in infectious viral yield. Structure-function analysis of L2 and A30.5, using transient complementation assays, identified key functional regions in both proteins. A clustered charge-to-alanine L2 mutant (L2-RRD) failed to rescue a vΔL2 infection and exhibits a significantly retarded apparent molecular weight
