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

JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) are human polyomaviruses that infect approximately 85% of the population worldwide [1,2]. JCV is the underlying cause of the fatal demyelinating disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a condition resulting from JCV induced lytic destruction of myelin producing oligodendrocytes in the brain [3]. BKV infection of kidneys in renal transplant recipients results in a gradual loss of graft function known as polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PVN) [4]. Following the identification of these viruses as the etiological agents of disease, there has been greater interest in understanding the basic biology of these human pathogens [5,6]. Recent advances in the field have shown that viral entry of both JCV and BKV is dependent on the ability to interact with sialic acid. This review focuses on what is known about the human polyomaviruses and the role that sialic acid plays in determining viral tropism.
