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

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) can induce severe reproductive failure in sows, and is involved in the porcine respiratory disease complex. The glycoprotein GP4 of the European prototype PRRSV strain Lelystad virus (LV) contains a linear neutralizing epitope that is located in a highly variable region. The current study aimed to evaluate the antibody response against this and other epitopes on GP4 to infection of pigs with European-type PRRSV. It was shown that three virus strains, differing in the region that corresponds to the neutralizing epitope on GP4 of LV, strongly induce antibodies against this area. Antibodies against the epitopes of the different virus strains were purified from polyclonal swine sera, and used in virus-neutralization tests on primary alveolar macrophages. This revealed that antibodies against the variable region in GP4 of different virus strains are able to neutralize infection with homologous but not heterologous virus strains.
