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

2A is an oligopeptide sequence that mediates a ribosome "skipping" effect and can mediate a co-translation cleavage of polyproteins. These sequences are widely distributed from insect to mammalian viruses and could act by accelerating adaptive capacity. These sequences have been used in many heterologous co-expression systems because they are versatile tools for cleaving proteins of biotechnological interest. In this work, we review and update the occurrence of 2A/2A-like sequences in different groups of viruses by screening the sequences available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database. Interestingly, we reported the occurrence of 2A-like for the first time in 69 sequences. Among these, 62 corresponded to positive single-stranded RNA species, six to double stranded RNA viruses, and one to a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus. The importance of these sequences for viral evolution and their potential in biotechnological applications are also discussed.
