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

Persistent viral infections are common in nature and can play a significant role in the ecology and evolution of the host organism. However, our understanding of these prolonged virus-host interactions remains limited. This study characterizes the persistent infection strategy of Pseudomonas phage phi6, an enveloped virus with a tri-segmented, double-stranded (ds)RNA genome that infects IMPORTANCE: Double-stranded (ds)RNA viruses infect a wide range of hosts, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, and this group includes many important pathogens. While acute infections of these viruses are well understood, less is known about dsRNA virus persistence. We studied persistent infection of a bacterial dsRNA virus, cystovirus phi6, in
