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 assess whether nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) fulfills the criteria of an innate resistance locus against an acute viral infection, we inoculated genetically deficient NOS2-/- mice with virulent ectromelia virus (EV), the causative agent of mousepox. NOS2-/- mice proved highly susceptible to EV yet showed no diminution in other well-characterized anti-EV immune responses, i.e. , gamma interferon secretion and NK cell and EV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte activities. Thus, the NOS2 locus can be considered a critical monogenic determinant of EV resistance that contributes to host survival.
