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 pathogenesis of viral myocarditis is a multifactorial process involving host genetics, viral genetics and the environment in which they interact. We have used a model of infection with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) to characterize the contribution of host genetics to viral myocarditis in mice of different genetic backgrounds but with a common H2 haplotype: A/J and B10.A-H2(a). Here we have used Evans blue dye as a quantitative biomarker for susceptibility to CVB3-induced myocarditis in addition to histopathological semiquantitative measures. We have found evidence of linkage between susceptibility to viral myocarditis and three loci. A locus on chromosome 1 centered on D1Mit200 was linked to sarcolemmal disruption in males (P=0.00005), a second locus on chromosome 4 centered on D4Mit81 was also linked to sarcolemmal disruption in males (P=0.0022). A third locus on distal chromosome 3 centered on D3Mit19 was linked to myocardial infiltration, with a logarithm of odds (LOD) score of 4.7 (P=0.0045), as well as sarcolemmal disruption in females (P=0.0015). These results provide strong evidence for the presence of loci contributing to the susceptibility of mice to viral myocarditis.
