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

Arboviruses like dengue virus, yellow fever virus, and West Nile virus are enveloped particles spread by mosquitoes, infecting millions of humans per year, with neither effective vaccines, nor specific antiviral therapies [1,2]. Previous studies of infection and virus replication utilize either purified virus particles or deficient genomes that do not complete the viral life cycle [1,2]. Here we describe transgenic Drosophila strains expressing trans-complementing genomes (referred to as 'replicons') from the arbovirus Sindbis [2]. We use this binary system to produce, for the first time in any metazoan, infectious virus particles through self-assembly from transgenes. Such cell-type specific particle 'launching' could serve as an attractive alternative for the development of virus-based tools and the study of virus biology in specific tissues.
