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

Viruses which cause persistence in the naturally infected host are predicted to have evolved immune evasion mechanisms. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) causes significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients yet persists without clinical manifestations in seropositive individuals who have normal immune function. We report that HCMV infection in vitro impairs major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) assembly accompanied by resistance to killing by cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes. Pulse-chase metabolic labelling experiments show that MHC-I complexes continue to be assembled by both uninfected and HCMV-infected cells. However, MHC-I molecules are unstable in HCMV-infected cells and are rapidly broken down. Endoglycosidase H treatment of immunoprecipitates indicates that the breakdown of MHC-I complexes in HCMV-infected cells occurs primarily in a pre-Golgi compartment. Interference with normal MHC-I assembly and expression, if relevant in vivo, may have implications for the restriction of the diversity of the CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte repertoire directed against HCMV antigens and may be an important mechanism of viral persistence.
