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 amplification of RNA viruses such as poliovirus is associated with high error rates, and the resulting diversity likely facilitates viral survival within an infected host. However, within individual tissues of infected hosts, there may be barriers to viral spread that limit genome sampling. We tested whether poliovirus population diversity was maintained during viral spread to the brain of poliovirus receptor-expressing mice. Each of four restriction enzyme site-tagged viruses was shown to be able to replicate in the mouse brain. However, when infection was initiated by i.m., i.v., or i.p. routes, only a subset of the members of the injected pool was detectable in the brain. This jackpot effect was the result of a bottleneck in viral transit from the inoculation site to the brain. The bottleneck was difficult to overcome, requiring a 10(7) increase in viral inoculum to allow representation of all or most members of the infecting pool. Therefore, the bottleneck is not likely to be a physical barrier but an antiviral state induced by a founder virus. We suggest that the innate immune response can limit viral pathogenicity by limiting the number and therefore the diversity of viruses during spread to vulnerable tissues.
