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

A recombinant measles virus which expresses enhanced green fluorescent protein (MVeGFP) has been used to infect two astrocytoma cell lines (GCCM and U-251) to study the effect of virus infection on the cytoskeleton. Indirect immunocytochemistry was used to demonstrate the cellular localization of the cytoskeletal components. Enhanced green fluorescent protein autofluorescence was used to identify measles virus-infected cells. No alteration of the actin, tubulin, or vimentin components of the cytoskeleton was observed in either cell type, whereas a disruption of the glial-fibrillary-acidic protein filament (GFAP) network was noted in MVeGFP-infected U-251 cells. The relative amounts of GFAP present in infected and uninfected U-251 cells were quantified by image analysis of data sets obtained by confocal microscopy by using vimentin, another intermediate filament on which MVeGFP has no effect, as a control.
