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

Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are highly prevalent in humans and animals. PyVs cause mild illness, however, they can also elicit severe diseases. Some PyVs are potentially zoonotic, such as simian virus 40 (SV40). However, data are still lacking about their biology, infectivity, and host interaction with different PyVs. We investigated the immunogenic properties of virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from viral protein 1 (VP1) of human PyVs. We immunised mice with recombinant HPyV VP1 VLPs mimicking the structure of viruses and compared their immunogenicity and cross-reactivity of antisera using a broad spectrum of VP1 VLPs derived from the PyVs of humans and animals. We demonstrated a strong immunogenicity of studied VLPs and a high degree of antigenic similarity between VP1 VLPs of different PyVs. PyV-specific monoclonal antibodies were generated and applied for investigation of VLPs phagocytosis. This study demonstrated that HPyV VLPs are highly immunogenic and interact with phagocytes. Data on the cross-reactivity of VP1 VLP-specific antisera revealed antigenic similarities among VP1 VLPs of particular human and animal PyVs and suggested possible cross-immunity. As the VP1 capsid protein is the major viral antigen involved in virus-host interaction, an approach based on the use of recombinant VLPs is relevant for studying PyV biology regarding PyV interaction with the host immune system.
