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

A useful and reproducible method to determine infectious respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is to quantify virus plaques using immunostaining of infected Vero E6 cells. Immunostaining, in lieu of counterstaining, allows for accurate detection and quantification of RSV-specific plaques, avoiding spurious and nonspecific results. This method is important because RSV plaque morphology can be atypical in susceptible cell lines and often varies because it is a function of virus replication, cytopathic effect, and viral fitness. This protocol describes determining RSV titers using an immunostaining plaque assay on Vero E6 cells.
