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

Quasispecies is a remarkable characteristic of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and has profound roles in HCV biology and clinical practice. The understanding of HCV quasispecies behavior, in particular in acute HCV infection, is valuable for vaccine development and therapeutic interference. However, acute HCV infection is seldom encountered in clinic practice due to its silent onset. In the present study, we reported a unique case of de novo HCV infection associated with the transplantation of bone marrow from a HCV-positive donor. HCV quasispecies diversity was determined in both the donor and the recipient over a 4-year follow-up, accompanied with simultaneous measurement of HCV neutralizing antibody. Detailed genetic and phylogenetic analyses revealed a divergent quasispecies evolution, which was not related to dynamic changes of HCV neutralizing antibody. Instead, our data suggested an essential role of the fitness adaptation of founder viral population in driving such an evolutionary pattern.
