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

The early extra- and intra-cellular interaction between adenovirus type 2 and HeLa cells was studied in the presence of benzyl alcohol as a fluidizing agent. The process of virus attachment and internalization were not affected at 5-15 mM of benzyl alcohol at 25 degrees C. Under the same conditions an enhancement by 45% at the most was demonstrated for the cell-mediated virion uncoating. By completely blocking virion internalization with 50 mM azide the uncoating was reduced to 20% of the normal level. The remaining surface-located uncoating was not affected by benzyl alcohol. It was demonstrated that an enhancement of the intracellular virion uncoating was followed by a raised production of the hexon antigen, which was interpreted as an increase in the specific infectivity of the virus.
