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 human, simian, and feline immunodeficiency viruses rapidly penetrate into the brain and trigger an inflammatory process that can lead to significant neurologic disease. However, the mechanisms that permit efficient trafficking of macrophage-tropic and the more neurotoxic lymphocytotropic isolates are still poorly understood. One potential source of virus entry may be the blood-CSF barrier provided by the choroid plexus. Infected cells are often detected within the choroid plexus but it is unclear whether this reflects trafficking cells or infection of the large macrophage population within the choroidal stroma. To address this issue, we cultured fetal feline choroid plexus and evaluated the ability of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) to establish a primary infection. Significant provirus was detected in macrophage-enriched choroid plexus cultures as well as in the choroid plexus of cats infected in vivo. FIV p24 antigen production in vitro was very low but detectable. Addition of a feline T-cell line to macrophages inoculated with FIV resulted in a dense clustering of the T cells over macrophages with dendritic cell-like morphologies and a robust productive infection. The direct infection of choroid plexus macrophages with FIV, the efficient transfer of the infection to T cells indicate that the choroid plexus can be a highly efficient site of viral infection and perhaps trafficking of both macrophage-tropic and T-cell-tropic viruses into the CNS.
