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

We used differential display analysis to identify mRNAs that accumulate to enhanced levels in human cytomegalovirus-infected cells as compared with mock-infected cells. RNAs were compared at 8 hr after infection of primary human fibroblasts. Fifty-seven partial cDNA clones were isolated, representing about 26 differentially expressed mRNAs. Eleven of the mRNAs were virus-coded, and 15 were of cellular origin. Six of the partial cDNA sequences have not been reported previously. All of the cellular mRNAs identified in the screen are induced by interferon alpha. The induction in virus-infected cells, however, does not involve the action of interferon or other small signaling molecules. Neutralizing antibodies that block virus infection also block the induction. These RNAs accumulate after infection with virus that has been inactivated by treatment with UV light, indicating that the inducer is present in virions. We conclude that human cytomegalovirus induces interferon-responsive mRNAs.
