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

To examine the roles of auxiliary genes and the AP-1 binding site in the long terminal repeat of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in vivo, three mutant viruses, which are defective in the vif gene ([delta]vif), ORF-A gene (deltaORF-A), and AP-1 binding site (deltaAP-1), and wild-type virus as a positive control were separately inoculated into three specific-pathogen-free cats. These cats were assessed by measuring the number of proviral DNA copies in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), the CD4/CD8 ratio and antibody responses to FIV for 16 weeks and then examining histological changes at necropsy. Although viral DNAs were detected in PBMCs from all 12 cats to various degrees until 16 weeks postinoculation, no virus was recovered from PBMCs of cats infected with (delta)vif virus during the observation period. However, a very weak antibody response was induced in one cat infected with the (delta)vif virus. In contrast, despite the successful recovery of virus from both groups of cats infected with deltaORF-A and deltaAP-1 virus, antibody responses and decrease in the CD4/CD8 ratio in the groups were milder than those in cats infected with wild-type virus. Furthermore, the numbers of proviral DNA copies in PBMCs from the two groups were not able to reach the level in cats infected with wild-type virus during the observation period. From these results, we conclude that these mutant viruses are still infectious for cats but failed in efficient viral replication and suggest that these auxiliary genes and enhancer element are important or essential to full viral replication kinetics and presumably to full pathogenicity during the early stage of infection in vivo.
