Alveolar macrophages are early targets of mumps virus.

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
Formerly a common childhood pathogen, mumps virus (MuV) remains active worldwide, despite relatively high vaccine coverage. MuV is thought to infect the upper respiratory tract before disseminating to other organs; however, the early cellular targets of MuV in vivo are unknown. To address this, we generated a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged vaccine strain (JL5) of MuV to infect leukocytic cell lines and found that replication was greatest in monocytes. Infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) also showed that both JL5 and a circulating strain of MuV (Iowa 2006; genotype G), preferentially infected monocytes. Further, monocyte-derived macrophages showed high susceptibility to MuV, with genotype G infecting macrophages to a much greater extent. While mice are generally resistant to MuV infection, we inoculated immunocompetent Rosa26-tdTomato mice intranasally with a GFP and Cre recombinase tagged MuV to determine whether monocytes/macrophages are important targets in vivo. We observed a small population of tdTomato
