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 spike (S) glycoprotein of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) is a major determinant of neurovirulence. Using targeted recombination we previously demonstrated that the S gene of the highly neurovirulent MHV-4 conferred a dramatic increase in neurovirulence to the mildly neurovirulent MHV-A59. To identify the genetic determinants of neurovirulence within the MHV-4 spike, we generated isogenic recombinant viruses containing various MHV-4/MHV-A59 chimeric spike genes, and studied their phenotypes in vivo. The MHV-4/MHV-A59 chimeric spike genes consisted of either reciprocal exchanges between the S1 and S2 spike subunits, or smaller exchanges specifically in the hypervariable region (HVR) of S1. The chimeric spike gene containing recombinants all exhibited efficient replication in vitro, yet many were severely attenuated for virulence in vivo. Furthermore, these attenuated recombinants exhibited decreased titers of infectious virus in the brain relative to the parental recombinant viruses containing the full-length MHV-4 or MHV-A59 spike genes. This is the first report that compares the neurovirulence and pathogenesis of isogenic viruses with defined alterations in the MHV spike protein. From these studies, it appears that the interactions of multiple regions of the MHV spike, including the HVR, act in concert to allow for efficient infection of and virulence in the murine central nervous system.
