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

Molecular biological methods have confirmed the pathogenetic role of enteroviruses, primarily coxsackieviruses of group B (CVB), in the induction and maintenance of inflammatory cardiomyopathy. More recently, adenoviruses, various herpes viruses, and increasingly parvovirus B19 (B19) have been identified as potential cardiotropic agents. While cardiac myocytes are target cells for enterovirus and adenovirus infections with virus-induced cytolysis, B19-associated inflammatory cardiomyopathy is characterized by infection of intracardiac endothelial cells of small arterioles and veins, which may be associated with endothelial dysfunction, impairment of myocardial microcirculation, penetration of inflammatory cells, and secondary myocyte necrosis. Recent observations showed that B19 is involved in intracellular calcium regulation by the viral phospholipase. B19-induced caspase activation can lead to proinflammatory/proapoptotic processes through dysregulation of STAT signaling. These cellular interactions may contribute to mechanisms by which B19 establishes persistent infection in endothelial cells and play a critical role in viral pathogenesis of inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
