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

There is no known antiviral drug treatment that routinely terminates persistent virus infections. A recent provocative report indicated that low dosage of the sphingosine analog FTY720 caused lymphopenia in mice persistently infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-clone 13 (Cl 13) and induced viral clearance within 30 days post-treatment (Premenko-Lanier et al., 2008). However, we find that low dosage of FTY720 fails to purge LCMV-Cl 13 infection and does not induce lymphopenia in LCMV-Cl 13-infected mice. In fact, infection with non-persistent LCMV-Arm53b or with persistent LCMV-Cl 13 induces an equivalent lymphopenia, demonstrating that the quantity of circulating cells has little bearing on viral persistence. In addition, treatment with FTY720 or the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1)-specific agonist, AUY954, does not alleviate T cell exhaustion and exacerbates disruption of the CD8(+) T cells response following LCMV-Cl 13 infection. Therefore, treatment with a sphingosine analog does not ameliorate persistent LCMV-Cl 13 infection.
