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

unlabelledA balance between the functions of the influenza virus surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) is thought to be important for the transmission of viruses between humans. Here we describe two pandemic H1N1 viruses, A/swine/Virginia/1814-1/2012 and A/swine/Virginia/1814-2/2012 (pH1N1low-1 and -2, respectively), that were isolated from swine symptomatic for influenza. The enzymatic activity of the NA of these viruses was almost undetectable, while the HA binding affinity for α2,6 sialic acids was greater than that of the highly homologous pH1N1 viruses A/swine/Pennsylvania/2436/2012 and A/swine/Minnesota/2499/2012 (pH1N1-1 and -2), which exhibited better-balanced HA and NA activities. The in vitro growth kinetics of pH1N1low and pH1N1 viruses were similar, but aerosol transmission of pH1N1low-1 was abrogated and transmission via direct contact in ferrets was significantly impaired compared to pH1N1-1, which transmitted by direct and aerosol contact. In normal human bronchial epithelial cells, pH1N1low-1 was significantly inhibited by mucus but pH1N1-1 was not. In Madin-Darby canine kidney cell cultures overlaid with human or swine mucus, human mucus inhibited pH1N1low-1 but swine mucus did not. These data show that the interaction between viruses and mucus may be an important factor in viral transmissibility and could be a barrier for interspecies transmission between humans and swine for influenza viruses. IMPORTANCE: A balance between the functions of the influenza virus surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) is thought to be important for transmission of viruses from swine to humans. Here we show that a swine virus with extremely functionally mismatched HA and NAs (pH1N1low-1) cannot transmit via aerosol in ferrets, while another highly homologous virus with HA and NAs that are better matched functionally (pH1N1-1) can transmit via aerosol. These viruses show similar growth kinetics in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, but pH1N1low-1 is significantly inhibited by mucus in normal human bronchial epithelial cells whereas pH1N1-1 is not. Further, human mucus could inhibit these viruses, but swine mucus could not. These data show that the interaction between viruses and mucus may be an important factor in viral transmissibility and could be a species barrier between humans and swine for influenza viruses.
