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 identified to be an early gene, but its transcription start site remains unknown. The coding sequence of ac68 overlaps 280-bp leading sequence and 159-bp coding sequence of lef3 (ac67). In this study, the transcription start site of ac68 was determined by 5' RACE analysis to be 18 nucleotides upstream from the start codon. In order to investigate the effect of ac68 deletion on virus propagation, we generated a bacmid with an ac68 knockout by deleting 360-bp inside the ac68 gene, which also deleted 220-bp leading sequence of lef3. Production of infectious budded virus and formation of nucleocapsids and occlusion bodies exhibited wild-type patterns of virus propagation in Sf-9 cells infected with the mutant bacmid. The result demonstrated that ac68 was not an essential gene for viral propagation which was confirmed by further deletion of ac68, and disruption of the lef3 leading sequence did not affect viral propagation. Ac68 was the second auxiliary gene discovered besides Ac133 (alk-exo) among the 30 core genes of AcMNPV.
