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 ORF5-encoded major envelope glycoprotein (GP5) is one of the key immunogenic proteins of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and is the leading target for the development of the new generation of vaccines against PRRS. However, weak and tardy neutralizing antibodies have been elicited in several developed experimental vaccines expressing PRRSV GP5. More recent evidence has demonstrated a non-neutralizing decoy epitope upstream of the neutralizing epitope of GP5, which might prevent the development of a strong neutralizing antibody response against PRRSV. In the present study, we modified the ORF5 gene by inserting a Pan DR T-helper cell epitope (PADRE) between the neutralizing epitope and the decoy epitope to minimize or eliminate the decoy effect of the non-neutralizing epitope. The immunogenicity of the modified GP5 was further evaluated using DNA vaccination. The results showed that significantly enhanced neutralizing antibodies were elicited in mice immunized with the DNA construct expressing the modified GP5 compared with the native GP5. Slightly increased levels of GP5-specific ELISA antibodies and T-cell proliferative activities were also observed. These results indicate that the high immunogenicity of the modified GP5 might facilitate the development of improved PRRS vaccines in the future.
