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 nucleocapsid (N) gene of human coronavirus strain OC43 (HCoV-OC43) was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and cloned in pENTR/D-TOPO plasmid. This plasmid containing the N gene was recombined with in a BaculoDirect baculovirus DNA designed in order to express N protein in fusion with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag containing V5 epitope. Sf21 cells were transfected with recombinant baculovirus DNA. Recombinant N protein was extracted from infected cells, analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and purified by Ni2+ affinity procedure. Sera from 100 healthcare workers and five 2-3-year-old children were tested in a Western blot assay using the purified recombinant N protein. All of the sera from adults and two of the sera from children have a positive result.
