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 human polyomavirus JC (JCV) causes the central demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in about 5% of AIDS patients. To characterize the type profile of JCV in a control population in the United States, 54 females (10 to 79 years of age; average age, 43.4 years) and 51 males (18 to 94 years of age; average age, 47.9 years) were examined for the excretion of different genotypes of JCV in their urine by PCR followed by direct cycle sequencing. The group consisted of 89 patients of a general medical clinic in addition to 16 healthy volunteers. The overall incidence of JC viruria was 43 of 105 (40.9%) subjects, with a marked increase for those subjects above the age of 30 years. Two men were found to excrete two different types of JCV at the same time, indicating double infections. Of the three different genotypes of JCV identified to date, type 1 strains (European) were the most common in this cohort (64% of total strains) followed by type 2 (East Asian) (18%). No type 3 (East African) strains were detected. Indirect evidence for the existence of JCV type 3 was found in seven individuals (16%) in the form of a type 1/3 recombinant (also called type 4). In addition, a single example of JCV which differs from types 1, 2, and 3 and may represent a phylogenetically older type (type 5) was found in a 59-year-old African-American. Delineation of sequence variations between JCV types is essential for the design of primers for sensitive PCR with clinical samples.
