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 mouse genome contains two related interferon-regulated genes, Mx1 and Mx2. Whereas Mx1 codes for the nuclear 72-kDa protein that interferes with influenza virus replication after interferon treatment, the Mx2 gene is nonfunctional in all laboratory mouse strains examined, since its open reading frame (ORF) is interrupted by an insertional mutation and a subsequent frameshift mutation. In the present study, we demonstrate that Mx2 mRNA of cells from feral mouse strains NJL (Mus musculus musculus) and SPR (Mus spretus) differs from that of the laboratory mouse strains tested. The Mx2 mRNA of the feral strains contains a single long ORF consisting of 656 amino acids. We further show that Mx2 protein in the feral strains is expressed upon interferon treatment and localizes to the cytoplasm much like the rat Mx2 protein, which inhibits vesicular stomatitis virus replication. Furthermore, transfected 3T3 cell lines of laboratory mouse origin expressing Mx2 from feral strains acquire slight resistance to vesicular stomatitis virus.
