Characterization of the HHV-6B U20 Immunoevasin.
Article in Journal of virology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Roseoloviruses (human herpesvirus 6A [HHV-6A], -6B, and -7) infect >90% of the human population during early childhood and are thought to remain latent or persistent throughout the life of the host. As such, these viruses are among the most pervasive and stealthy of all viruses; they must necessarily excel at escaping immune detection throughout the life of the host, and yet, very little is known about how these viruses so successfully escape host defenses. Here, we characterize the expression, trafficking, and posttranslational modifications of the HHV6B U20 gene product, which is encoded within a block of genes unique to the roseoloviruses. HHV-6B U20 trafficked slowly through the secretory system, receiving several posttranslational modifications to its N-linked glycans, indicative of surface-expressed glycoproteins, and eventually reaching the cell surface before being internalized. Interestingly, U20 is also phosphorylated on at least one Ser, Thr, or Tyr residue. These results provide a framework to understand the role(s) of U20 in evading host defenses.
