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 double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus PRD1 carries its genome in a membrane surrounded by an icosahedral protein shell. The shell contains 240 copies of the trimeric P3 protein arranged with a pseudo T = 25 triangulation that is reminiscent of the mammalian adenovirus. DNA packaging and infection are believed to occur through the vertices of the particle. We have used immunolabeling to define the distribution of proteins on the virion surface. Antibodies to protein P3 labeled the entire surface of the virus. Most of the 12 vertices labeled with antibodies directed against proteins P5, P2, and P31. These proteins are known to function in virus binding to the cell surface. Proteins P6, P11, and P20 were found on a single vertex per virion. The P6 and P20 proteins are believed to function in DNA packaging. Protein P11 is a pilot protein that is involved in a complex that mediates the early stages of DNA entry to the host cell. Labeling with antibodies to P5 or P2 did not affect the labeling of P6, the unique vertex protein. Labeling with antibodies to the unique vertex protein P6 interfered with the labeling by antibodies to the unique vertex protein P20. We conclude that PRD1 utilizes 11 of its vertices for initial receptor binding. It utilizes a single, unique vertex for both DNA packing during assembly and DNA delivery during infection.
