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) is the causative agent of progressive multifocal leukoenchaphalopathy (PML). The disease develops when JCV gains access to the central nervous system, infects and destroys oligodendrocytes. The disease is rapidly progressing, typically fatal and no effective therapies exist to treat or prevent PML. The recent occurrence of PML in multiple sclerosis patients being treated with Avonex (IFNbeta1-a) and Tysabri (Natalizumab) and the recent reports linking JCV infection to the 5HT(2a) serotonin receptor led us to evaluate the effects of IFNbeta1-a and a panel of 5HT(2a) receptor antagonists for their ability to modulate virus infection. IFNbeta1-a was found to be a potent inhibitor of both virus infection and viral early and late gene expression. In addition, several 5HT(2a) receptor antagonists inhibited initial infection of cells by JCV but were less effective at reducing viral loads in an already established infection.
