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

African swine fever virus multigene family (MGF) 360 and 505 genes have roles in suppressing the type I interferon response and in virulence in pigs. The role of the individual genes is poorly understood. Different combinations of these genes were deleted from the virulent genotype II Georgia 2007/1 isolate. Deletion of five copies of MGF 360 genes, MGF360-10L, -11L, -12L, -13L, and -14L, and three copies of MGF505-1R, -2R, and -3R reduced virus replication in macrophages and attenuated virus in pigs. However, only 25% of the immunized pigs were protected against challenge. Deletion of MGF360-12L, -13L, and -14L and MGF505-1R in combination with a negative serology marker, K145R (GeorgiaΔK145RΔMGF(A)), reduced virus replication in macrophages and virulence in pigs, since no clinical signs or virus genome in blood were observed following immunization. Four of six pigs were protected after challenge. In contrast, deletion of MGF360-13L and -14L, MGF505-2R and -3R, and K145R (GeorgiaΔK145RΔMGF(B)) did not reduce virus replication in macrophages. Following immunization of pigs, clinical signs were delayed, but all pigs reached the humane endpoint. Deletion of genes MGF360-12L, MGF505-1R, and K145R reduced replication in macrophages and attenuated virulence in pigs since no clinical signs or virus genome in blood were observed following immunization. Thus, the deletion of MGF360-12L and MGF505-1R, in combination with K145R, was sufficient to dramatically attenuate virus infection in pigs. However, only two of six pigs were protected, suggesting that deletion of additional MGF genes is required to induce a protective immune response. Deletion of MGF360-12L, but not MGF505-1R, from the GeorgiaΔK145R virus reduced virus replication in macrophages, indicating that MGF360-12L was most critical for maintaining high levels of virus replication in macrophages.
