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

aimTo investigate the genetic constitution of an escape mutant H5N1 strain and to screen the presence of possible amino acid signatures that could differentiate it from other Egyptian H5N1 strains.

methodsPhylogenetic, evolutionary patterns and amino acid signatures of the genes of an escape mutant H5N1 influenza A virus isolated in Egypt on 2009 were analyzed using direct sequencing and multisequence alignments.

resultsAll the genes of the escape mutant H5N1 strain showed a genetic pattern potentially related to Eurasian lineages. Evolution of phylogenetic trees of different viral genes revealed the absence of reassortment in the escape mutant strain while confirming close relatedness to other H5N1 Egyptian strains from human and avian species. A variety of amino acid substitutions were recorded in different proteins compared to the available Egyptian H5N1 strains. The strain displayed amino acid substitutions in different viral alleles similar to other Egyptian H5N1 strains without showing amino acid signatures that could differentiate the escape mutant from other Egyptian H5N1.

conclusionThe genetic characteristics of avian H5N1 in Egypt revealed evidence of a high possibility of inter-species transmission. No amino acid signatures were found to differentiate the escape mutant H5N1 strain from other Egyptian H5N1 strains.
