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

ts1, a mutant of Moloney murine leukemia virus, causes neurologic disorders and acute immunodeficiency associated with the destruction of thymocytes and helper T cells. In this study, we examined whether apoptosis was involved in ts1-induced killings of T cells. Neonatal mice were inoculated with ts1, and 20 to 23 days postinoculation, when cytopathic effects on T cells normally appear, thymocytes and splenic lymphocytes were isolated and examined. Our results showed that several features of apoptosis were present in ts1-infected thymocytes and splenic lymphocytes. Apoptotic fragmented DNA, condensation of the chromatin, and enhanced cell death after stimulation with mitogens which was preventable with protein synthesis inhibitors, all of which are common features of apoptotic cell death, were observed in ts1-infected cells. Several other viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus, have been shown to cause apoptotic death of T cells. Here we show for the first time that a murine retrovirus which also induces immunodeficiency can cause apoptotic T-cell death. Future studies with this murine retrovirus may provide important results to help us better understand the mechanisms of retrovirus-induced apoptosis of T cells.
