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

The avian leukosis virus subgroup K (ALV-K), a novel subgroup in Chinese indigenous chicken breeds, has been difficult to isolate in the past due to its poor replication ability. However, according to the latest monitoring data, the replication ability and isolation rate of ALV-K have clearly increased, and new strains with mutations in the pol gene have also been found. To determine the effects of such mutations on the biological characteristics of ALV-K, a pair of infectious clones were constructed and rescued. The first virus was an ALV-K Chinese isolate with mutations in its pol gene, named rSDAUAK-11. The second virus was a recuperative rSDAUAK-11 from which mutations in the pol gene were recovered according to the corresponding region of the ALV-K prototype virus JS11C1, named rRSDAUAK-11. In addition, two quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assays were developed to specifically detect these virus strains. Using such methods, we observed a marked improvement of the reverse transcriptase activity, replication ability and vertical transmission ability of rSDAUAK-11, which also revealed a formidable competitive advantage in mixed infection with rRSDAUAK-11 and corresponded to the differences between the wild strains SDAUAK-11 and JS11C1. Accordingly, our findings not only show that mutations in the pol gene are an important molecular mechanism contributing to corresponding changes in the biological characteristics of the newest ALV-K but also emphasize the potential future eradication of ALV.
