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

Introduction: The genus Methods: In this study, we employed an Results: The results demonstrate that while pathogenic WNV and TBEV cross the endothelial barrier the ability of low pathogenic Usutu virus (USUV) and Langat virus (LGTV) was inconsistent. All viruses tested display virus replication within the endothelial cells. Nevertheless, virus replication did not affect the barrier function of endothelial cells as demonstrated by sustained TEER and absence of leakage of high molecular weight dextran molecules through the endothelial barrier even at several hours post infection. Discussion: Our findings indicate that orthoflaviviruses can infect the endothelial cells, replicate within them without affecting the cells and its barrier function. Nevertheless, only pathogenic WNV and TBEV showed the ability to cross the endothelial barrier and reach the basolateral compartment.
