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

We developed a rapid method to generate recombinant vaccinia viruses (rVVs) based upon a bicistronic cassette encoding the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP) and a foreign gene of interest separated by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). As proof-of-concept, we inserted a mutant env gene of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into the cassette, which was cloned into the vaccinia virus (VV) insertion vector pSC59 under the control of the early-late VV synthetic promoter and flanked by disrupted tk gene sequences. To generate rVVs, 293T cells were inoculated with wild-type (wt) VV, followed by transfection of the modified pSC59 vector containing the bicistronic cassette, which allows expression of GFP and the protein of interest. Next, GFP-positive cells were isolated by flow cytometry or by picking under a fluorescent microscope. Thymidine kinase-deficient (Tk(-)) 143B cells were then exposed to lysates of GFP-positive 293T cells and cultured in the presence of bromodeoxyuridine. This selection allows only Tk(-) rVV to remain viable. We demonstrated the success of this GFP selection strategy by expressing high levels of mutant HIV Env. Our approach shortens the time needed to generate rVVs and represents a practical approach to generate recombinant proteins.
