Human cytomegalovirus UL78 is a nuclear-localized GPCR necessary for efficient reactivation from latent infection in CD34
Article in Journal of virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous pathogen that persists throughout the lifetime of the host due to the establishment of latency. HCMV encodes four putative G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs): US27, US28, UL33, and UL78. A definitive role for UL78 in HCMV infection has yet to be elucidated. Utilizing an IMPORTANCE: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) remains one of the most widespread viral infections globally. Primary HCMV infection is typically asymptomatic and leads to the establishment of latency in myeloid lineage cells, where the virus persists for the host's lifetime. Reactivation of latent HCMV can cause severe complications, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant recipients and people living with HIV. Several factors influence the transition from latent to lytic infection, including signal transduction through the viral G protein-coupled receptors: US27, US28, UL33, and UL78. Using an advanced
