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

Baculoviruses have been widely used as expression vectors. However, numerous genes in the baculoviral genome are non-essential for cellular infection and protein expression, making the optimisation of baculovirus expression vectors possible. We used a synthetic biological method to reduce the number of genes in a partial region of the autograph californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), the most widely used baculovirus expression vector. The C1 region of the AcMNPV is 46.4 kb and is subdivided into B1, B2, and B3 fragments. We first designed modified B1, B2, and B3 fragments by deleting the non-essential genes, and then synthesised complete viral genomes containing either individual modified B fragments or joint modified B fragments through transformation-related recombination in yeast. The synthetic genomes were then transfected into Sf9 cells to rescue the progeny viruses and test their infectivity. The design-build-test cycle was repeated until the ultimately rescued virus could produce progeny viruses efficiently. Finally, AcMNPV-Syn-mC1-1.1 by deleting approximately 17.2 kb, including 20 ORFs, in the C1 region, was obtained. This is essential to the synthesis of a minimal AcMNPV genome that can generate infectious progeny viruses and can be further used to optimise the foundation of baculovirus expression vectors.
