Evidence for recombination in the envelope gene of maedi-visna virus.
Article in Virus genes, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Frequent recombination occurs during replication in all retroviruses examined. This increases the genetic variation in the retroviral population and may be of importance in the evolution of the virus. Maedi-visna virus (MVV), a retrovirus of sheep, has a highly variable envelope gene. In a previous experiment, 20 sheep were infected with an uncloned strain of MVV and virus was isolated at regular intervals for 7 years. We sequenced the envelope genes of a number of these strains and found evidence for recombination that may have contributed to the observed high frequency of antigenic variants.
