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

A three-dimensional (3D) cryoelectron microscopy reconstruction of the prototype Atadenovirus (OAdV [an ovine adenovirus isolate]) showing information at a 10.6-A resolution (0.5 Fourier shell correlation) was derived by single-particle analysis. This is the first 3D structure solved for any adenovirus that is not a Mastadenovirus, allowing cross-genus comparisons between structures and the assignment of genus-specific capsid proteins. Viable OAdV mutants that lacked the genus-specific LH3 and p32k proteins in purified virions were also generated. Negatively stained 3D reconstructions of these mutants were used to identify the location of protein LH3 and infer that of p32k within the capsid. The key finding was that LH3 is a critical protein that holds the outer capsid of the virus together. In its absence, the outer viral capsid is unstable. LH3 is located in the same position among the hexon subunits as its protein IX equivalent from mastadenoviruses but sits on top of the hexon trimers, forming prominent "knobs" on the virion surface that visually distinguish OAdV from other known AdVs. Electron density was also assigned to hexon and penton subunits and to proteins IIIa and VIII. There was good correspondence between OAdV density and human AdV hexon structures, which also validated the significant differences that were observed between the penton base protein structures.
