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

Persistent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals. One mechanism by which HCMV may develop persistence after primary infection is through inhibition of host cell human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II expression with resultant escape from normal antiviral immune surveillance. Immunofluorescence flow cytometry of human endothelial cell (EC) cultures infected with HCMV AD169 and an EC propagated strain, VHL/E, showed a marked reduction in interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced surface expression of HLA-DR. This inhibition did not occur when EC were treated with ultraviolet-inactivated virus and IFN-gamma. HCMV, as determined by dual-labeling immunohistochemistry, inhibited induction of surface and cytoplasmic class II antigens specifically in infected cells. HCMV infection also inhibited IFN-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha up-regulation of HLA class I expression. Northern blot analysis of infected, IFN-gamma-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells revealed an absence of class II mRNA. Persistence of HCMV may result in part from its ability to inhibit HLA class II induction in infected cells.
