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

A comparative investigation was performed on the process of attachment of adenovirus type 2 to HeLa cells cultivated in the presence of 3.5% fetal bovine serum (FBS-cells) or 2% Ultroser G (USG-cells). The initial rates of virus attachment were markedly higher at temperatures between 10 and 35 degrees C for the virus binding to USG-cells than to FBS-cells. This was not caused by a higher amount of available virus-recognizing cellular receptor sites or cellular receptor units recognizing the viral fiber, but could be explained by a higher affinity of virions for USG-cells as compared to FBS-cells. Studies of virus attachment to cells, pretreated with neuraminidase and/or wheat germ agglutinin, suggested that the cellular receptor sites of FBS-cells were masked to a higher extent by sialic acid than the cellular receptor sites of USG-cells.
