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

Large polypeptides of the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) were inserted into an influenza A virus hemagglutinin glycoprotein (HA), and the chimeric proteins were functionally characterized and incorporated into infectious influenza viruses. PA domain 1', the region responsible for binding to the other toxin components, the lethal factor and edema factor, and domain 4, the receptor binding domain (RBD), were inserted at the C-terminal flank of the HA signal peptide and incorporated into the HA1 subunit of HA. The chimeric proteins, designated as LEF/HA (90 amino acid insertion) and RBD/HA (140 amino acid insertion), were initially analyzed following expression using recombinant vaccinia viruses. Both chimeric proteins were shown to display functional phenotypes similar to that of the wild-type HA. They transport to the cell surface, can be cleaved into the HA1 and HA2 subunits by trypsin to activate membrane fusion potential, are able to undergo the low-pH-induced conformational changes required for fusion, and are capable of inducing the fusion process. We were also able to generate recombinant influenza viruses containing the chimeric RBD/HA and LEF/HA genes, and the inserted PA domains were maintained in the HA gene segments following several passages in MDCK cells or embryonated chicken eggs. Furthermore, DNA immunization of mice with plasmids that express the chimeric RBD/HA and LEF/HA proteins, and the recombinant viruses containing them, induced antibody responses against both the HA and PA components of the protein. These approaches may provide useful tools for vaccines against anthrax and other diseases.
