Review in QJM : monthly journal of the Association of Physicians, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, contains some of the most important arboviral pathogens of man. The genus includes several aetiological agents of encephalitis, the most significant being Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus and tick-borne encephalitis virus. In each case, the majority of exposed individuals will not develop disease, but a minority will develop a severe illness with a significant chance of permanent neurological damage or death. The factors that determine this are numerous, involving complex interactions between virus and host and are still being actively uncovered. In many cases it appears that the immune response, while crucial to containing the virus and limiting spread to the brain, is also responsible for causing neurological damage. Innate responses can limit viral replication but may also be responsible for generating pathological levels of inflammation. Neutralizing antibody responses are protective but take time to develop. The role of T cells is less clear, and may be either protective or pathogenic. This review summarizes recent developments in the understanding of the pathogenesis of encephalitis caused by flaviviruses.
