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) infection can induce apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells, which may be the most important element of development and progression of reported atherosclerosis caused by HCMV. As there are no specific drugs to clear HCMV infection, exploration of relevant drugs and mechanisms that can intervene in HCMV-induced atherosclerosis is urgently needed. The present study confirmed that vitamin D3 protected vascular endothelial cells from HCMV-induced apoptosis by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Mechanistically, HCMV infection could induce aberrantly elevated m6A modification, especially the increases of methyltransferases-"writers" (METTL3) and m
