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

Given the on-going SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, identification of immunogenic targets against the viral protein will provide crucial advances towards the development of sensitive diagnostic tools and vaccination strategies. Our previous study has found that ORF8 protein of SARS-CoV-2 is highly immunogenic and shows high sensitivity in identifying COVID-19 disease. In this study, by employing overlapping linear peptides, we characterized the IgG immunodominant regions on SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 protein that are seropositive in the sera from SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. The major immunogenic epitopes are localized at (1) N-termini alpha helix, (2) the resides spanning beta 2 and 3 sheets, and (3) the loop between beta 4 and 5 sheets. Additionally, hamster model infected by SARS-CoV-2 further validates the seropositivity of the linear epitopes
