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

The tissue tropism of Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus (MdSGHV) infecting adult house flies was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and quantitative real-time PCR. TEM demonstrated that characteristic MdSGHV-induced nuclear and cellular hypertrophy was restricted to the salivary glands. Both nucleocapsids and enveloped virions were present in salivary gland cells. In contrast, thin sections of midguts, ovaries, abdominal fat body, crops, air sacs and brains showed the presence of enveloped virions in vacuoles of tracheal cells associated with these tissues. However, no sites of viral morphogenesis were detected in the tracheal cells. Quantitative analysis of MdSGHV DNA and transcript titers revealed that viral DNA was present in all hemolymph and tissue samples collected from MdSGHV-infected flies. Average numbers of MdSGHV genome copies per 50 ng of DNA varied significantly between examined tissues and ranged from 3.83 × 10(8) (±3.75 × 10(7)) in salivary gland samples to 7.98 × 10(5) (±2.91 × 10(5)) in hemolymph samples. High levels of viral genome copies were detected in midgut, fat body and brain samples. Viral transcripts were present in all examined samples, and transcript abundance was also at the highest level in salivary glands and at the lowest level in hemolymph. However, over the range of different tissues that were analyzed, there was no correlation between estimated quantities of genome copies and viral transcripts. The function of viral transcripts in host tissues that do not show sites of viral morphogenesis remains to be elucidated.
