1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Defining the subcellular localization of viral proteins is crucial for understanding viral pathogenesis. Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), a significant pathogen of solanaceous crops, remains poorly characterized in terms of its protein localization and potential as a viral vector, limiting our understanding of its pathogenesis. Transient expression systems often fail to fully recapitulate PepMV infection dynamics. To address this, we developed recombinant viral vectors using the virus's own promoters, enabling a direct comparison of protein localization between transient expression and viral infection. Here, we found that viral infection dramatically altered the localization of movement proteins (TGB1, TGB2, TGB3), inducing perinuclear aggregates associated with viral replication and increasing their association with peripheral puncta. In contrast, the distribution of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) and coat protein (CP) remained relatively stable. Of note, a key technical achievement was creating a PepMV-based vector (PepMV
