Foreign gene expression attenuates a virulent Newcastle disease virus in chickens.

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.
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
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an important pathogen for poultry and is used as a vector for developing novel poultry vaccines. Previous studies showed that foreign gene insertion in NDV vector decreases virulence determined by in vitro assays; however, the impact of foreign gene expression on the pathogenicity of NDV in susceptible chickens is not fully investigated. In this study, a recombinant NDV based on a velogenic strain carrying the orange fluorescent protein (OFP) gene between the phosphoprotein (P) and matrix (M) genes was generated using reverse genetics. Biological characteristics, including virus replication, virulence, and OFP expression, and the pathogenicity in chickens were evaluated. The recombinant NDV showed comparable replication capacity in eggs and cells as the parental virus, whereas OFP insertion resulted in a mild impairment of virulence, evidenced by longer mean death time in embryos. High OFP expression was detected in the cells inoculated with the recombinant NDV. In addition, the recombinant NDV induced delayed onset of disease, lower severity of clinical signs, and lower mortality in chickens compared to the parental virus. Moreover, high titers of the parental virus were detected in the spleen, lung, and intestinal tract, while no recombinant NDV was recovered from these tissues. Our findings suggest that in vitro characteristics related to the insertion of the OFP gene in a virulent NDV do not correlate to alteration of the pathogenicity in chickens. Our results provided new information regarding assessment of the impact of foreign gene expression on the pathogenicity of NDV.
