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

Poliomyelitis-like illness is a common clinical manifestation of neurotropic viral infections. Functional loss and death of motor neurons often lead to reduced muscle tone and paralysis, causing persistent motor sequelae among disease survivors. Despite several reports demonstrating the molecular basis of encephalopathy, the pathogenesis behind virus-induced flaccid paralysis remained largely unknown. The present study for the first time aims to elucidate the mechanism responsible for limb paralysis by studying clinical isolates of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and Chandipura virus (CHPV) responsible for causing acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in vast regions of Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. An experimental model for studying virus-induced AFP was generated by intraperitoneal injection of 10-day-old BALB/c mice. Progressive decline in motor performance of infected animals was observed, with paralysis being correlated with death of motor neurons (MNs). Furthermore, we demonstrated that upon infection, MNs undergo an extrinsic apoptotic pathway in a RIG-I-dependent fashion via transcription factors pIRF-3 and pIRF-7. Both gene-silencing experiments using specific RIG-I-short interfering RNA and
