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 genetic and antigenic variability of the G glycoproteins from 76 human respiratory syncytial (RS) viruses (subgroup A) isolated during six consecutive epidemics in either Montevideo, Uruguay, or Madrid, Spain, have been analyzed. Genetic diversity was evaluated for all viruses by the RNase A mismatch cleavage method and for selected strains by dideoxy sequencing. The sequences reported here were added to those published for six isolates from Birmingham, United Kingdom, and for two reference strains (A2 and Long), to derive a phylogenetic tree of subgroup A viruses that contained two main branches and several subbranches. During the same epidemic, viruses from different branches were isolated. In addition, closely related viruses were isolated in distant places and in different years. These results illustrate the capacity of the virus to spread worldwide, influencing its mode of evolution. The antigenic analysis of all isolates was carried out with a panel of anti-G monoclonal antibodies that recognized strain-specific (or variable) epitopes. A close correlation between genetic relatedness and antigenic relatedness in the G protein was observed. These results, together with an accumulation of amino acid changes in a major antigenic area of the G glycoprotein, suggest that immune selection may be a factor influencing the generation of RS virus diversity. The pattern of RS virus evolution is thus similar to that described for influenza type B viruses, expect that the level of genetic divergence among the G glycoproteins of RS virus isolates is the highest reported for an RNA virus gene product.
