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

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection of the domestic cat induces an immunodeficiency characterised by a gradual depletion of CD4+ T-helper lymphocytes. The virus targets T-helper cells by way of an interaction between its envelope glycoprotein (Env) and the cell surface molecule CD134 (OX40), a member of the nerve growth factor receptor/tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily. The Env-CD134 interaction is a necessary prerequisite for the subsequent interaction with CXCR4, the only chemokine receptor identified to date to act as a co-receptor for FIV. As T-helper cell expression of CD134 and CXCR4 is restricted to activated cells, FIV targets selectively antigen-specific T-helper cells. With disease progression the cell tropism of the virus expands; this may be the result of changes in the way in which Env interacts with CD134, a less stringent Env-CD134 interaction enabling the Env to interact more readily with CXCR4 and thus broadening the cell tropism of virus. In contrast, viruses that are present in early infection may have a narrower cell tropism, reflecting a more stringent interaction with CD134. Accordingly, "early" viruses may target CD134-expressing cells more efficiently and be more resistant to neutralising antibody. It is these early viruses that may be transmitted and should be considered as candidates for the development of vaccine regimes and novel therapeutic agents.
