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

Research with infectious SARS-CoV-2 is complicated because it must be conducted under biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) conditions. Recently, we constructed a live attenuated SARS-CoV-2 virus by rational design through partial recoding of the SARS-CoV-2 genome and showed that the attenuated virus, designated sCPD9, was highly attenuated in preclinical animal models. The recoded sequence was designed by codon pair deoptimization and is located at the distal end of gene ORF1ab. Codon pair deoptimization involves recoding of the viral sequence with underrepresented codon pairs but without altering the amino acid sequence of the encoded proteins. Thus, parental and attenuated viruses produce exactly the same proteins. In Germany, the live attenuated SARS-CoV-2 mutant sCPD9 was recently classified as a BSL-2 pathogen based on its genetic stability and strong attenuation in preclinical animal models. Despite its high attenuation
