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

Despite considerable progress in the development of immunocompetent mouse models using different high end technologies, most available small animal models for HCV study are unsuitable for challenge experiments, which are vital for vaccine development, as they fail to measure the T cell response in liver. A recently developed intra-hepatic challenge model results in HCV antigen expression in mouse hepatocytes and through the detection of the surrogate marker, SEAP, in serum, the effect of prior vaccination can be monitored longitudinally.
