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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) utilizes multiple host proteins to infect epithelial cells. Here we identified Rab14, a small GTPase belonging to the Rab family, as a critical host factor in HPV infection. Rab14 knockout (KO) cells exhibited resistance to HPV pseudovirion (PsV) infection. Confocal microscopy revealed that PsV transport to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) was significantly reduced in Rab14 KO cells. Reintroduction of wild-type Rab14 restored infection levels, but neither GDP-bound (S25N) nor GTP-bound (Q70L) mutants did. S25N preferentially localized to the TGN, while Q70L exhibited similar localization in the early endosome and the TGN. PsV showed reduced colocalization with S25N, whereas the opposite was observed for Q70L. These results indicate that Rab14 GTPase cycling controls HPV transport to the TGN.
