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

MuMig (murine monokine induced by gamma interferon) and Crg-2 (cytokine responsive gene 2) are two murine chemokines of the CXC family that are induced by the interferons (IFNs): MuMig specifically by IFN-gamma and Crg-2 by IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IFN-gamma. To investigate the biological roles of these chemokines, recombinant vaccinia viruses (rVVs) encoding either MuMig or Crg-2 were constructed. In vitro, the chemokine-encoding rVVs replicated to similar levels to the control virus. Athymic nude mice inoculated with 10(5) PFU or less of VV-HA-Mig or VV-HA-Crg-2 resolved the infection successfully whereas mice given a similar dose of the control virus VV-HA-TK died from generalized infection. At higher doses, there was mortality in all groups but death was significantly delayed in mice infected with either chemokine-encoding rVV compared with those infected with the control virus. Virus-encoded MuMig and Crg-2 enhanced the cytolytic activity of NK cells and splenic cellularity by two- to threefold and resulted in significant increases in mononuclear cell infiltration in the livers of mice. Using specific neutralizing or depleting antibodies, we have established that the control of rVV replication in athymic nude mice, as a consequence of virus-expressed MuMig and Crg-2, requires NK cells and IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IFN-gamma.
