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

Aim: Comparative inactivation studies with the murine norovirus (MNV) and different test substances showed considerable different results between test laboratories. To decipher the underlying mechanisms of this observation, different virus pools (virus suspensions) of the MNV were analysed in two independent laboratories by performing inactivation tests with i. a. various alcoholic formulations and different culture media. Methods: Virucidal activity of different test formulations (propan-2-ol, propan-1-ol, ethanol, aldehydes and peracetic acid) against MNV has been tested in the quantitative suspension test according to EN 14476:2019. Results: Results of the inactivation studies with MNV varied greatly depending on the cell culture medium and its additives used. In particular, the addition of HEPES to the medium in the course of virus propagation led to a strong decrease in the virus inactivation, when this virus pool was used in the approach with an alcoholic formulation. Conclusion: The use of different cell culture media with individual supplements can have a major impact on the results of inactivation studies with MNV. Therefore, harmonized protocols of viral inactivation test should be developed that describe the same cell culture conditions.
