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

Seoul virus (SEOV) is a hantavirus causing a mild to moderate form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome that is distributed mainly in Asia. The nucleocapsid (N) protein-encoding sequence of SEOV (strain 80-39) was RT-PCR-amplified and cloned into a yeast expression vector containing a galactose-inducible promoter. A survey of the pattern of synonymous codon preferences for a total of 22 N protein-encoding hantavirus genes including 13 of SEOV strains revealed that there is minor variation in codon usage by the same gene in different viral genomes. Introduction of the expression plasmid into yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the high-level expression of a hexahistidine-tagged N protein derivative. The nickel-chelation chromatography purified, yeast-expressed SEOV N protein reacted in the immunoblot with a SEOV-specific monoclonal antibody and certain HTNV- and PUUV-cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies. The immunization of a rabbit with the recombinant N protein resulted in the induction of a high-titered antibody response. In ELISA studies, the N protein was able to detect antibodies in sera of experimentally infected laboratory rats and in human anti-hantavirus-positive sera or serum pools of patients from different geographical origin. The yeast-expressed SEOV N protein represents a promising antigen for development of diagnostic tools in serology, sero prevalence studies and vaccine development.
