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

SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Virus neutralization assays are critical for the development and evaluation of vaccines and immunotherapeutics, as well as for conducting basic research into the immune response, spread, and pathogenesis of this disease. However, neutralization assays traditionally require the use of infectious virus which must be carefully handled in a BSL-3 setting, thus complicating the assay and restricting its use to labs with access to BSL-3 facilities. Pseudovirus-based assays are an alternative to the use of infectious virus. SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus contains only the spike structural protein, and infection results in a single round of replication, thus allowing for the assay to be run safely under BSL-2 conditions. In this chapter, we describe protocols and considerations for the production and titration of lentivirus-based SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as for running and analysis of FACS-based pseudovirus neutralization assays.
