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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly emerging infectious disease currently spreading across the world. The spike (S) protein plays a key role in the receptor recognition and cell membrane fusion, making it an important target for developing vaccines, therapeutic antibodies and diagnosis. In this study, we constructed a baculovirus surface display system that efficiently presents both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 S proteins (including ectodomain, S1 subunit and receptor-binding-domain, RBD) on the surface of recombinant baculoviruses, utilizing transmembrane anchors from gp64 (signal peptide) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). These recombinant baculoviruses were capable of transducing engineered HEK 293T cells overexpressing ACE2 receptors with significantly higher transduction efficiencies, indicating that S proteins displayed on baculovirus surface have antigenicity and can recognize and bind ACE2 receptors. Additionally, the transduction of SARS-CoV-2 S proteins can be inhibited by an antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. These results demonstrate that this baculovirus surface display system is a promising tool for developing antibodies, vaccines and recombinant protein production.
