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

The spike glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the first point of contact for the virus to recognize and bind to host receptors, is the focus of biomedical research seeking to effectively prevent and treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The mass production of spike glycoproteins is usually carried out in different cell systems. Studies have been shown that different expression cell systems alter protein glycosylation of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase in the influenza virus. However, it is not clear whether the cellular system affects the spike protein glycosylation. In this work, we investigated the effect of an expression system on the glycosylation of the spike glycoprotein and its receptor-binding domain. We found that there are significant differences in the glycosylation and glycans attached at each glycosite of the spike glycoprotein obtained from different expression cells. Since glycosylation at the binding site and adjacent amino acids affects the interaction between the spike glycoprotein and the host cell receptor, we recognize that caution should be taken when selecting an expression system to develop inhibitors, antibodies, and vaccines.
