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

Ovine pulmonary carcinoma (OPC) is a contagious lung cancer of sheep that is presumed to be caused by an exogenous retrovirus of sheep, jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV). The sheep genome carries 15 to 20 copies of endogenous sheep retrovirus (ESRV) loci that hybridize to JSRV DNA probes. In order to clarity the etiologic roles of ESRV and an exogenous JSRV-like retrovirus (exJSRV) in OPC, we assessed sequence differences between ESRV and JSRV. Molecular characterization of six ESRV loci revealed restriction sites specific for JSRV. Nucleotide sequences of ESRVs from sheep of different breeds were similar to those of JSRV in structural genes but divergent in U3. Therefore, primers specific for the U3 sequences of exJSRV were designed for use in the PCR. Of 13 tumor DNAs tested by PCR with these exogenous-virus U3 primers, 8 produced DNA fragments that hybridized with the JSRV gag probe, but neither lung DNAs from healthy sheep nor DNAs from nontumor tissues of diseased sheep produced similar DNA fragments. exJSRV PCR products from tumor DNAs of sheep with OPC from three continents had restriction profiles similar to each other but different from those of ESRVs upon digestion with EcoRI, HindIII, NdeI, KpnI, and ScaI. These exjSRVs could be classified into two genotypes according to U3 sequences and restriction profiles. U3 sequences of exJSRV proviruses in tumors strongly resembled those of JSRV but differed from those of ESRVs, suggesting that exJSRVs, rather than ESRVs, are primarily associated with oncogenesis in OPC.
