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

Nonstructural protein 7 (nsp7), which is flanked by nsp6 and nsp8, is one of the most conserved nonstructural proteins of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Nonstructural protein (nsp)-specific antibodies are produced in high titers in response to virus replication, especially against nsp1a, nsp1b, nsp2, and nsp7. However, many regional aspects of nsp7 are still veiled, such as its impact on viral replication and virulence or the immunological mechanism between virus and host. Based on the structure of the predicted nsp7 domain, we have constructed a series of large mutations and deletions. We ultimately demonstrated all mutations (nsp7, nsp7α/nspβ) and the majority of substitutions of nsp7 affected the PRRSV replicative cycle in some ways and were fatal for viral recovery, which indicates that these are significant to structure or function of the nsp7. What's more, the mutant vOKXH-nsp7 (F40A) indeed caused some of the variation compared with the parental virus vOKXH-GD, which shortens the amount of time needed to reach its highest viral titer, and decreases the concentration of the highest viral titer, obstructing viral mRNA and protein synthesis. Consequently, these valuable results possibly provide the first direct evidence that the nsp7 is really a critical protein domain for the RNA synthesis and the translation of viral protein of PRRSV.
