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

Rabies virus (RABV) is the causative agent of rabies, a lethal neurological disease in mammals. RABV strains can be classified into fixed strains (laboratory strains) and street strains (field/clinical strains), which have different properties including cell tropism and neuroinvasiveness. RABV Toyohashi strain is a street strain isolated in Japan from an imported case which had been bitten by rabid dog in the Philippines. In order to facilitate molecular studies of RABV, we established a reverse genetics (RG) system for the study of the Toyohashi strain. The recombinant virus was obtained from a cDNA clone of Toyohashi strain and exhibited similar growth efficiency as the original virus in cultured cell lines. Both the original and recombinant strains showed similar pathogenicity with high neuroinvasiveness in mice, and the infected mice developed a long and inconsistent incubation period, which is characteristic of street strains. We also generated a recombinant Toyohashi strain expressing viral phosphoprotein (P protein) fused with the fluorescent protein mCherry, and tracked the intracellular dynamics of the viral P protein using live-cell imaging. The presented reverse genetics system for Toyohashi strain will be a useful tool to explore the fundamental molecular mechanisms of the replication of RABV street strains.
