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

Vertically transmitted endogenous retroviruses pose an infectious risk in the course of pig-to-human transplantation of cells, tissues, and organs. Two classes of polytropic type C porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) which are infectious for human cells in vitro are known. Recently, we described the cloning and characterization of replication-competent PERV-B sequences from productively infected human cells (F. Czauderna, N. Fischer, K. Boller, R. Kurth, and R. R. Tönjes, J. Virol. 74:4028-4038, 2000). Here, we report the isolation of infectious molecular PERV-A and PERV-B clones from pig cells and compare these proviruses with clones derived from infected human 293 cells. In addition to clone PERV-A(42) derived from 293 cells, four "native" full-length proviral PERV sequences derived from a genomic library of the porcine cell line PK15 were isolated. Three identical class A clones, designated PK15-PERV-A(42), PK15-PERV-A(45), and PK15-PERV-A(58), and one class B clone, PK15-PERV-B(213), were characterized. PK15-PERV-B(213) is highly homologous but distinct from the previously described clone PERV-B(43). PK15-PERV-A(58) demonstrates close homology to PERV-A(42) in env and to PERV-C in long terminal repeat, gag, and pro/pol sequences. All three PERV clones described here were replication competent upon infection of susceptible cell lines. The findings suggest that the pig genome harbors a limited number of infectious PERV-A and -B sequences.
