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

Tetherin (ST2/CD317) is a cellular protein that restricts the release from cells of some enveloped viruses including HIV-1. To examine if influenza virus is affected by tetherin, MDCK cells constitutively expressing human tetherin and control MDCK cells were infected with influenza virus. No difference was observed in infectious titers, at 24 h or 48 h post-infection. In contrast, tetherin expression inhibited influenza virus-like particle (VLP) release into the media. Expression of the HIV protein Vpu overcame the tetherin block of influenza virus VLPs. A human tetherin mutant that lacks a C-terminal GPI anchor attachment signal (tetherin-ΔGPI) was constructed to test if this mutant could be incorporated into the released virus or VLP particles. Whereas tetherin-ΔGPI was incorporated into influenza VLPs it was not incorporated into influenza virions. Taken together these data suggest that influenza virions may contain a tetherin antagonist.
