A low oncogenic variant of Friend murine leukemia virus with strong immunosuppressive properties.
Article in Archives of virology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Friend leukemia complex (FLC) is known to induce immunosuppression but the use of FLC in studies of immune cells function is disadvantageous since the immunosuppression always is accompanied by an acute erythroleukemia. To obtain immunosuppressive variants of FLC with reduced leukemogenic potential, we isolated T-helper cells from FLC infected mice, and passed lysates of the cells to recipient uninfected mice. A group of these mice developed a condition distinct from the disease induced by FLC. A viral stock prepared from these mice, designated Fd-MIV for friend derived murine immunodeficiency virus, induced a profound suppression of the primary antibody response without acute transformation in adult NMRI mice. Terminally a wasting disease with weight loss, atrophy of the thymus and lymph nodes and renal disease was observed in some mice. Analysis of viral DNA and RNA from infected NIH 3T3 cells showed that Fd-MIV contained at least two viral components, a 8.4 kb friend murine leukemia virus (F-MuLV) and a 7.4 kb mink cell focus (MCF)/xenotropic virus related genome. The 7.4 kb genome was not detected in Fd-MIV infected, immunocompromised mice indicating that the 8.4 kb genome might be responsible for the disease.
