Papiine herpesvirus 2 as a predictive model for drug sensitivity of Macacine herpesvirus 1 (monkey B virus).
Article in Comparative medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Monkey B virus (Macacine herpesvirus 1; BV) is endemic in macaques. BV (a BSL4 agent) is the primary zoonotic concern for persons working with macaques in research, and human BV infections frequently are fatal. We assessed the use of a BSL2 baboon herpesvirus (Papiine herpesvirus 1; HVP2) for predicting the drug sensitivity of BV by comparing the sensitivity of the 2 viruses to 12 antiherpetic drugs. Plaque reduction assays showed that 4 drugs (HBPG, BVdU, PFA, and BrdU) were ineffective against both viruses. Of the 8 effective drugs, both viruses were most sensitive to TFT, whereas sensitivity to the remaining 7 drugs varied between BV and HVP2 as well as between strains of HVP2. In addition, the efficacy of 5 drugs (ACV, PCV, GCV, CDV, and EDU) was tested by using a murine model. ACV and EDU were completely ineffective against both HVP2 and BV, and high doses of PCV only delayed death by a few days. GCV and CDV both protected mice against death, and CDV also prevented the development of neurologic symptoms. When the initiation of drug therapy was delayed until after virus gained access to the CNS, both GCV and CDV were ineffective. The similarity of the drug sensitivities of HVP2 and BV in both models validates the use of HVP2 as a BSL2 level model that can be used to predict drug sensitivity of BV. The greater efficacy of CDV relative to GCV suggests the potential for use of CDV in the treatment of zoonotic BV infections.
