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 prominent feature on the surfaces of virions of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a negatively charged loop structure (the beta H-beta I loop). Six of 8 amino acids in this capsid protein loop are highly conserved among strains of CMV and other cucumoviruses. Five of these amino acids were individually changed to alanine or lysine (an amino acid of opposite charge) to create nine mutants (the D191A, D191K, D192A, D192K, L194A, E195A, E195K, D197A, and D197K mutants). Transcripts of cDNA clones were infectious when they were mechanically inoculated onto tobacco, giving rise to symptoms of a mottle-mosaic typical of the wild-type virus (the D191A, D191K, D192A, E195A, E195K, and D197A mutants), a systemic necrosis (the D192K mutant), or an atypical chlorosis with necrotic flecking (the L194A mutant). The mutants formed virions and accumulated to wild-type levels, but eight of the nine mutants were defective in aphid vector transmission. The aspartate-to-lysine mutation at position 197 interfered with infection; the only recovered progeny (the D197K(*) mutant) harbored a second-site mutation (denoted by the asterisk) of alanine to glutamate at position 193, a proximal site in the beta H-beta I loop. Since the disruption of charged amino acid residues in the beta H-beta I loop reduces or eliminates vector transmissibility without grossly affecting infectivity or virion formation, we hypothesize that this sequence or structure has been conserved to facilitate aphid vector transmission.
