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

We present the genome sequence and organization and evidence of persistence of a new picorna-like virus infecting the flatworm Stenostomum leucops. The complete genome sequence belongs to a virus with a positive single-stranded RNA genome with two open reading frames (ORFs) flanked by untranslated regions and a polyadenylated C-terminus. The ORFs encode proteins with conserved motifs typical of members of the order Picornavirales. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed membership in this viral order, and it was found to be closely related to viruses found in Biomphalaria (Mollusca) in France and a virus detected in a metagenomic analysis of water sources from the USA, suggesting widespread distribution. RT-PCR analysis revealed that this virus can be detected in a laboratory-grown worm isolate for at least five years, suggesting persistent infection. However, no apparent deleterious effects were observed in the worms in culture, suggesting a possible commensal relationship between the virus and the worms.
