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

In the past 4 years, interest in drug-resistant herpesviruses has evolved from the realm of academic laboratory studies to that of great clinical importance. Recurrent and persistent infections due to the herpes simplex viruses, varicella-zoster virus, and human cytomegalovirus have been an unwelcome consequence of immunosuppression in graft recipients, cancer patients, and those suffering from AIDS. Treatment of these infections with the available antiviral drugs, such as acyclovir, ganciclovir, and foscarnet, has resulted in both clinical benefit and the emergence of drug-resistant variants. In addition, the role of Epstein-Barr virus is being clarified for an array of disease syndromes, and therapeutic approaches are beginning to emerge. In the present review, the emergence and clinical importance of drug resistance among the herpesviruses have been explored. Furthermore, particular attention has been focused on our understanding of the mechanisms of drug resistance and how that understanding will guide us in the development of more effective antiviral drugs and drug usage.
