"Transfer" of power: The intersection of DNA virus infection and tRNA biology.
Review in Seminars in cell & developmental biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are at the heart of the molecular biology central dogma, functioning to decode messenger RNAs into proteins. As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses depend on the host translation machinery, including host tRNAs. Thus, the ability of a virus to fine-tune tRNA expression elicits the power to impact the outcome of infection. DNA viruses commonly upregulate the output of RNA polymerase III (Pol III)-dependent transcripts, including tRNAs. Decades after these initial discoveries we know very little about how mature tRNA pools change during viral infection, as tRNA sequencing methodology has only recently reached proficiency. Here, we review perturbation of tRNA biogenesis by DNA virus infection, including an emerging player called tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs). We discuss how tRNA dysregulation shifts the power landscape between the host and virus, highlighting the potential for tRNA-based antivirals as a future therapeutic.
