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

Tick-borne flaviviruses are maintained in nature in an enzootic cycle involving a tick vector and a vertebrate host. Thus, the virus replicates in two disparate hosts, each providing selective pressures that can influence virus replication and pathogenicity. To identify viral determinants associated with replication in the individual hosts, plaque purified Langat virus (TP21pp) was adapted to growth in mouse or tick cell lines to generate two virus variants, MNBp20 and ISEp20, respectively. Virus adaptation to mouse cells resulted in four amino acid changes in MNBp20 relative to TP21pp, occurring in E, NS4A and NS4B. A comparison between TP21pp and ISEp20 revealed three amino acid modifications in M, NS3 and NS4A of ISEp20. ISEp20, but not MNBp20, was attenuated following intraperitoneal inoculation of mice. Following isolation from mice brains, additional mutations reproducibly emerged in E and NS3 of ISEp20 that were possibly compensatory for the initial adaptation to tick cells. Thus, our data implicate a role for E, M, NS3, NS4A and NS4B in host adaptation and pathogenicity of tick-borne flaviviruses.
