Endothelial Cell Infection by Guinea Pig Cytomegalovirus Is a Lytic or Persistent Infection Depending on Tissue Origin but Requires Viral Pentamer Complex and pp65 Tegument Protein.

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 guinea pig is the only small animal model for congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) but requires species-specific guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV). Infection of epithelial cells and trophoblasts by GPCMV requires the viral glycoprotein pentamer complex (PC) and endocytic entry because of the absence of platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA). Endothelial cells represent an important cell type for infection, dissemination in the host, and disease but have been poorly evaluated for GPCMV. Novel endothelial cell lines were established from animal vascular systems, including aorta (EndoC) and placental umbilical cord vein (GPUVEC). Cell lines were characterized for endothelial cell protein markers (PECAM1, vWF, and FLI1) and evaluated for GPCMV infection. Only PC-positive virus was capable of infecting endothelial cells. Individual knockout mutants for unique PC components (GP129, GP131, and GP133) were unable to infect endothelial cells without impacting fibroblast infection. Ectopic expression of PDGFRA in EndoC cells enabled GPCMV(PC
