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

Coxsackievirus B3 (CV-B3) is a cardiovirulent enterovirus that utilizes a 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) to complete critical viral processes. Here, we directly compared the structure of a 5'UTR from a virulent strain with that of a naturally occurring avirulent strain. Using chemical probing analysis, we identified a structural difference between the two 5'UTRs in the highly substituted stem-loop II region (SLII). For the remainder of the 5'UTR, we observed conserved structure. Comparative sequence analysis of 170 closely related enteroviruses revealed that the SLII region lacks conservation. To investigate independent folding and function, two chimeric CV-B3 strains were created by exchanging nucleotides 104-184 and repeating the 5'UTR structural analysis. Neither the parent SLII nor the remaining domains of the background 5'UTR were structurally altered by the exchange, supporting an independent mechanism of folding and function. We show that the attenuated 5'UTR lacks structure in the SLII cardiovirulence determinant.
