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

The generation and release of mature virions from human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infected cells is a multistep process, involving a profound reorganization of cellular structures and various stages of virus particle morphogenesis in different cellular compartments. Although the general steps of HCMV morphogenesis are known, it has become clear that the detailed molecular mechanisms are complex and dependent on various viral factors and cellular pathways. The lack of a full understanding of HCMV virion morphogenesis emphasizes the need of imaging techniques to visualize the different stages of virion assembly, such as electron microscopy. Here, we describe various electron microscopy techniques and the methodology of high-pressure freezing and freeze substitution for sample preparation to visualize HCMV morphogenesis. These methods are used in our laboratory in combination with a thorough quantification to characterize phenotypic alterations and to identify the function of viral and cellular proteins for the various morphogenesis stages.
