Fitness peaks of dengue virus populations.
Article in PloS one, 2018. 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
The role of intra-host genetic diversity in dengue viral populations remains a topic of debate, particularly the impact on transmission of changes in this diversity. Several approaches have been taken to increasing and decreasing the genetic diversity of populations of RNA viruses and have drawn what appear to be contradictory conclusions. A 2-6 fold increase in genetic diversity of a wild type population of dengue virus serotype 1(DENV1) and of an infectious clone population derived from the wild type population, produced by treatment with nucleotide analogue 5 fluorouracil (5FU), drove the populations to extinction. Removal of 5FU immediately prior to extinction, resulted in a return to pre-treatment levels of fitness and genetic diversity, albeit with novel single nucleotide polymorphisms. These observations support the concept that DENV populations exist on fitness peaks determined by their transmission requirements and either an increase or a decrease in genetic diversity may result in a loss of fitness.
