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 normally asymptomatic human polyomavirus, JCPyV, is the causative agent of a rare but fatal demyelinating disease known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Individuals at risk for developing PML include those with AIDS, with other underlying immunosuppressive diseases, and in patients treated with immunomodulatory regimens. Drugs to prevent viral reactivation in the setting of immunosuppression or immunomodulation could be used to sustain lives. Development of such drugs has been impeded by the difficulty of growing and studying the virus. We sought to develop a more efficient method for screening drugs that inhibit viral infection. Pseudovirus models have been developed which may be of use in pharmaceutical research. The use of pseudoviruses as models for viral infection is dependent on them using similar pathways for infection as virus. We screened known inhibitors of viral entry for their ability to block pseudovirus infection. Here we show that the pseudovirus based on the human polyomavirus JCPyV recapitulates virus binding, entry and trafficking. This system can be used for high-throughput screening of antiviral drugs.
