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

Global gene expression analysis allows for the identification of transcripts that are differentially regulated during a disease state. Many groups, including our own, have identified hundreds of genes differentially regulated in response to prion infection. Eleven transcripts, upregulated in the brains of prion-infected animals, which were classified in the literature as stimulated by the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), were identified. This is intriguing, as IFN-γ has recently been detected in the brains of prion-infected animals. Quantitation of several genes, categorized as IFN-γ inducible, by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) confirms that these transcripts are upregulated. Future approaches for delineating the role of IFN-γ-induced transcripts and their function in prion infection are described.
