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

Norovirus GII/4 is a leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in humans. We examined here how the GII/4 virus evolves to generate and sustain new epidemics in humans, using 199 near-full-length GII/4 genome sequences and 11 genome segment clones from human stool specimens collected at 19 sites in Japan between May 2006 and February 2009. Phylogenetic studies demonstrated outbreaks of 7 monophyletic GII/4 subtypes, among which a single subtype, termed 2006b, had continually predominated. Phylogenetic-tree, bootscanning-plot, and informative-site analyses revealed that 4 of the 7 GII/4 subtypes were mosaics of recently prevalent GII/4 subtypes and 1 was made up of the GII/4 and GII/12 genotypes. Notably, single putative recombination breakpoints with the highest statistical significance were constantly located around the border of open reading frame 1 (ORF1) and ORF2 (P <or= 0.000001), suggesting outgrowth of specific recombinant viruses in the outbreaks. The GII/4 subtypes had many unique amino acids at the time of their outbreaks, especially in the N-term, 3A-like, and capsid proteins. Unique amino acids in the capsids were preferentially positioned on the outer surface loops of the protruding P2 domain and more abundant in the dominant subtypes. These findings suggest that intersubtype genome recombination at the ORF1/2 boundary region is a common mechanism that realizes independent and concurrent changes on the virion surface and in viral replication proteins for the persistence of norovirus GII/4 in human populations.
