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

Three neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs: Oseltamivir, zanamivir and peramivir) are currently approved in many countries for the treatment of influenza A and B infections. The emergence of influenza B viruses (IBVs) containing mutations of cross-resistance to these NAIs constitutes a serious clinical threat. Herein, we used a reverse genetics system for the current B/Phuket/3073/2013 vaccine strain to investigate the impact on in vitro properties and virulence of H136N, R152K, D198E/N, I222T and N294S NA substitutions (N2 numbering), reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) as clinical markers of reduced or highly-reduced inhibition (RI/HRI) to multiple NAIs. Recombinant viruses were tested by NA inhibition assays. Their replicative capacity and virulence were evaluated in ST6GalI-MDCK cells and BALB/c mice, respectively. All NA mutants (excepted D198E/N) showed RI/HRI phenotypes against ≥ 2 NAIs. These mutants grew to comparable titers of the recombinant wild-type (WT) IBV in vitro, and some of them (H136N, I222T and N294S mutants) induced more weight loss and mortality in BALB/c mice in comparison to the recombinant WT IBV. These results demonstrate that, in contemporary IBVs, some NA mutations may confer RI/HRI phenotypes to existing NAIs without altering the viral fitness. This reinforces the need for development of novel antiviral strategies with different mechanisms of action.
