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

Exanthem subitum is a common childhood illness caused by primary infection with human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B). It is occasionally complicated by febrile seizures and even encephalitis. HHV-6B reactivation also causes encephalitis, especially after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, no adequate antiviral treatment for HHV-6B has yet been established. Mouse-derived monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the HHV-6B envelope glycoprotein complex gH/gL/gQ1/gQ2 have been shown to neutralize the viral infection. These antibodies have the potential to become antiviral agents against HHV-6B despite their inherent immunogenicity to the human immune system. Humanization of MAbs derived from other species is one of the proven solutions to such a dilemma. In this study, we constructed chimeric forms of two neutralizing MAbs against HHV-6B to make humanized antibodies. Both showed neutralizing activities equivalent to those of their original forms. This is the first report of humanized antibodies against HHV-6B and provides a basis for the further development of HHV-6B-specific antivirals.
