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 strain of human cytomegalovirus, T2211, modified from standard laboratory strain AD169 to contain a secreted alkaline phosphatase reporter gene for rapid viral quantitation, was cloned as a bacterial artificial chromosome, BA1, and then mutagenized to create recombinant viruses containing viral UL97 kinase sequence variants found in clinical specimens after ganciclovir treatment, but with no phenotypic data to determine their role in drug resistance. Seven control strains and 14 other recombinant strains were phenotyped for ganciclovir resistance and compared with similar strains created using prior technology to show a good concordance of findings. Sequence changes V466M, H469Y, A478V, N510S, A588V, K599R, L600I, G623S, T659I, and V665I were found to confer no significant ganciclovir resistance, while mutations L405P, M460T, A594E, and C603R conferred 3- to 9-fold increases in ganciclovir 50% inhibitory concentrations. Different mutations at codons 594 (A594V, A594E) and 603 (C603W, C603S) conferred varied amounts of ganciclovir resistance. Advances in recombinant phenotyping make it easier to show that many uncharacterized UL97 sequence variants do not confer ganciclovir resistance, but some are newly confirmed as resistance associated, including one (L405P) which is outside the codon range where such mutations are usually found. This information should improve the interpretation of genotypic data generated by diagnostic laboratories.
