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

Two variants of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) which differ dramatically in the ability to induce myocarditis in BALB/c mice were studied. H3 virus infection of murine monocytes in vitro resulted in release of concentrations of interleukin 1 (IL-1) and alpha/beta interferon that were high compared with those of cells infected with the H310A1 virus variant. In vivo, H3 virus infection caused substantial inflammatory cell infiltration of the myocardium, and lymphocytes from these animals gave predominantly Th1-cell responses to either whole H3 virus or overlapping peptides of the CVB3 vp1 capsid protein, as determined by IL-2 production. In contrast, H310A1 virus infection produced minimal myocarditis and Th1-cell responses, but Th2-cell activation was more pronounced than in H3 virus-infected mice (as determined by IL-4 concentrations). Exogenous treatment of H310A1 virus-infected mice with either IL-1 or IL-2 restored both myocarditis susceptibility and Th1-cell responses to whole virus and vp1 peptides. Furthermore, H310A1 virus-infected mice given exogenous IL-1 showed substantial in situ IL-2 deposition in the myocardium. These results indicate that CVB3-induced myocarditis may depend upon release of specific cytokines during infection and that activation of Th1 cells may be an important factor in pathogenesis.
