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

Dynamin-like GTPase proteins, including myxoma (Mx) and guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs), are among the many interferon stimulated genes induced following viral infections. While studies report that human (h)GBPs inhibit different viruses in vitro, few have convincingly demonstrated that mouse (m)GBPs mediate antiviral activity, although mGBP-deficient mice have been used extensively to define their importance in immunity to diverse intracellular bacteria and protozoa. Herein, we demonstrate that individual (overexpression) or collective (knockout (KO) mice) mGBPs of the chromosome 3 cluster (mGBPchr3) do not inhibit replication of five viruses from different virus families in vitro, nor do we observe differences in virus titres recovered from wild type versus mGBPchr3 KO mice after infection with three of these viruses (influenza A virus, herpes simplex virus type 1 or lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus). These data indicate that mGBPchr3 do not appear to be a major component of cell-intrinsic antiviral immunity against the diverse viruses tested in our studies.
