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 herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) UL24 beta-glucuronidase (UL24-betagluc) insertion mutant was derived from HSV-2 strain 186 via standard marker transfer techniques. Cell monolayers infected with UL24-betagluc yielded cytopathic effect with syncytium formation. UL24-betagluc replicated to wild-type viral titers in three different cell lines. UL24-betagluc was not virulent after intravaginal inoculation of BALB/c mice in that all inoculated animals survived doses up to 400 times the 50% lethal dose (LD50) of the parental virus. Furthermore, few UL24-betagluc-inoculated mice developed any vaginal lesions. Intravaginal inoculation of guinea pigs with UL24-betagluc at a dose equivalent to the LD50 of parental virus (approximately 5 x 10(3) PFU) was not lethal (10/10 animals survived). Although genital lesions developed in some UL24-betagluc-inoculated guinea pigs, both the overall number of lesions and the severity of disease were far less than that observed for animals infected with parental strain 186.
