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

backgroundHepatitis C virus (HCV) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Vaccination based on HCV capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. The core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes related to viral replication and pathogenesis. The envelope E1 and E2 proteins involve in generation of the infectious particles, viral entry by binding to a host cell receptor, and modulation of the immune responses.

objectivesIn current study, the efficient generation of recombinant core and core- MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression of HCV core and core-E1E2 proteins was performed using prokaryotic pET-28a and pQE-30 expression systems in BL21/ Rosetta, and M15 strains, respectively. The recombinant proteins were purified using affinity chromatography under native conditions and also reverse staining method. Finally, the levels of recombinant proteins were assessed by BCA kit and spectrophotometer.

resultsThe data showed a clear band of ~573 bp for HCV core and ~2238 bp for core-

conclusionsThis study is the first report for purification of HCV core and core-
