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

Influenza virus motility is based on cooperation between two viral spike proteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), and is a major determinant of virus infectivity. To translocate a virus particle on the cell surface, HA molecules exchange viral receptors and NA molecules accelerate the receptor exchange of HA. This type of virus motility was recently identified in influenza A virus (IAV). To determine if other influenza virus types have a similar receptor exchange mechanism-driven motility, we investigated influenza C virus (ICV) motility on a receptor-fixed glass surface. This system excludes receptor mobility, which makes it more desirable than a cell surface for demonstrating virus motility by receptor exchange. Like IAV, ICV was observed to move across the receptor-fixed surface. However, in contrast to the random movement of IAV, a filamentous ICV strain, Ann Arbor/1/50 (AA), moved in a straight line, in a directed manner, and at a constant rate, whereas a spherical ICV strain, Taylor/1233/47 (Taylor), moved randomly, similar to IAV. The AA and Taylor viruses each moved with a combination of gradual (crawling) and rapid (gliding) motions, but the distances of crawling and gliding for the AA virus were shorter than those of the Taylor virus. Our findings indicate that like IAV, ICV also has a motility that is driven by the receptor exchange mechanism. However, compared with IAV movement, filamentous ICV movement is highly regulated in both direction and speed. Control of ICV movement is based on its specific motility employing short crawling and gliding motions as well as its own filamentous morphology.
