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 cellular tropism of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is affected by changes in variable region 3 (V3) of the surface (SU) envelope glycoprotein (Verschoor, E. J., et al., J. Virol. 69:4752-4757, 1995). By using high-dose DNA transfection, an FIV molecular clone with a non-CRFK-tropic V3 acquired the ability to replicate in CRFK cells. A single point mutation from a methionine to a threonine in the ectodomain of its transmembrane (TM) envelope glycoprotein was responsible for this change in viral tropism. This substitution is located in the putative SU interactive region, between the fusion peptide and the membrane-spanning region. Our results show that this region of the TM envelope glycoprotein constitutes an additional determinant for cell tropism.
