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

Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) interferes with antigen presentation by means of retaining major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we identify and characterize an MCMV-encoded glycoprotein, gp34, which tightly associates with properly conformed MHC class I molecules in the ER. Gp34 is synthesized in large quantities during MCMV infection and it leaves the ER only in association with MHC class I complexes. Many but not all class I molecules are retained in the ER during the early phase of MCMV infection, and we observe an inverse correlation between amounts of gp34 synthesized during the course of infection and class I retention. An MCMV deletion mutant lacking several genes, including the gene encoding gp34, shows increased class I retention. Thus, MCMV gp34 may counteract class I retention, perhaps to decrease susceptibility of infected cells to recognition by natural killer cells.
