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 emergence of antiviral-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) strains is a continuing clinical problem, with increased numbers of immunocompromised patients given longer-duration antiviral prophylaxis. Two previously unrecognized CMV DNA polymerase mutations (N408K and A834P) identified separately and together in at-risk lung and kidney transplant recipients and a third mutation (L737M) identified in a liver transplant recipient were characterized by marker transfer to antiviral-sensitive laboratory strains AD169 and Towne. Subsequent phenotypic analyses of recombinant strains demonstrated the ability of mutation N408K to confer ganciclovir (GCV) and cidofovir (CDV) resistance and of mutation A834P to confer GCV, foscarnet, and CDV resistance. Mutation L737M did not confer resistance to any of the antiviral agents tested. A recombinant strain containing both N408K and A834P demonstrated increased GCV and CDV resistance compared to the levels of resistance of the virus containing only the A834P mutation. The addition of mutation N408K in combination with A834P also partially reconstituted the replication impairment of recombinant virus containing only A834P. This suggests that perturbation of both DNA polymerization (A834P) and exonuclease (N408K) activities contributes to antiviral resistance and altered replication kinetics in these mutant strains. The identification of these multidrug-resistant CMV strains in at-risk seronegative recipients of organs from seropositive donors suggests that improved prophylactic and treatment strategies are required. The additive effect of multiple mutations on antiviral susceptibility suggests that increasing antiviral-resistant phenotypes can result from different virus-antiviral interactions.
