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

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) particles lose infectivity due to their disassembly at pH values slightly below neutrality. This acid-dependent disassembly process is required for viral RNA release inside endosomes. To study the molecular determinants of viral resistance to acid-induced disassembly, six FMDV variants with increased resistance to acid inactivation were isolated. Infection by these mutants was more sensitive to drugs that raise the endosomal pH (NH(4)Cl and concanamycin A) than was infection by the parental C-S8c1 virus, confirming that the increase in acid resistance is related to a lower pH requirement for productive uncoating. Amino acid replacement N17D at the N terminus of VP1 capsid protein was found in all six mutants. This single substitution was shown to be responsible for increased acid resistance when introduced into an infectious FMDV clone. The increased resistance of this mutant against acid-induced inactivation was shown to be due to its increased resistance against capsid dissociation into pentameric subunits. Interestingly, the N17D mutation was located close to but not at the interpentamer interfaces. The mutants described here extend the panel of FMDV variants exhibiting different pH sensitivities and illustrate the adaptive flexibility of viral quasispecies to pH variations.
