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

Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a malignant B-cell lymphoma of cattle caused by infection with bovine leukemia virus (BLV). It is defined by clonal and neoplastic expansion of BLV-infected B cells. Currently, multiple examinations are able to comprehensively diagnose this condition. Inverse polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a useful method to determine retrovirus integration sites. Here, we established a simplified inverse PCR method, involving the evaluation of clonality and similarity of BLV integration sites, to clinically diagnose EBL, and we also assessed its reliability. We found that the novel BLV inverse PCR could detect clonal expansion of infected cells even if they constituted only 5% of the total number of cells, while not amplifying any fragments from BLV-uninfected cells, thus confirming its sufficient sensitivity and specificity for use in EBL diagnosis. Furthermore, 50 clinical cases of bovine leukemia were analyzed using BLV inverse PCR and other PCR-based methods, wherein our method most efficiently determined virus-dependent bovine leukemia, including unidentified clinical cases observed in a previous report. Following further clinical investigations to enhance its reliability, the proposed BLV inverse PCR method has the potential to be applied to EBL diagnosis.
