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

Orf68 (ac68) of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is a highly conserved gene that codes a predicted 192-amino acid protein, but its function remains unknown. Results of the current study showed that ac68 was transcribed from 3 to 96 h and the protein was detected from 36 to 96 h post infection. An ac68 knockout bacmid was generated to investigate the role of the gene in baculovirus life cycle. Analyses of the production of infectious budded virus, occlusion bodies, and the formation of nucleocapsids revealed that there was no difference between the infection patterns of the mutant and its parent virus, or the ac68 repair virus. Bioassay with Trichoplusia ni demonstrated that deletion of ac68 did not affect AcMNPV infectivity, but extended LT(50) to a longer value. Taken together, our results indicated that the deletion did not affect viral propagation both in vitro and in vivo, but deletion of the gene may affect the virulence in T. ni larvae.
