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 established 99 JC virus (JCV) DNA clones directly from the brain of a single patient with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Based upon restriction patterns, the cloned viral DNAs were classified into two major groups (NY-1A and -1B) containing 53 and 35 clones, respectively, and several minor groups containing one or a few clones. The regulatory sequences of representative clones were compared with the archetypal regulatory sequence, which has been detected in JCV DNAs cloned from the urine of healthy and nonimmunosuppressed individuals. The regulatory sequence of NY-1B had the two structural features common to most PML-type regulatory regions, duplication and deletion of specific segments in the archetypal sequence, while that of NY-1A contained a small deletion and an insertion of a 29-bp sequence originating from the early region of the JCV genome. A regulatory region similar to that of NY-1A has never been detected in JCV isolates obtained thus far.
