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

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV), which has brought huge economic losses to the pork industry worldwide since its first discovery in the late 1980s in North America. To date, there are no effective commercial vaccines or therapeutic drugs available for controlling the spread of PRRSV. Due to their unique advantages of high affinity and high specificity, nanobodies (Nbs) have received increasing attention in the process of disease diagnosis and treatment. Trans-activator transcription (TAT) can serve as a vector to carry specific proteins into cells by passing through cell membranes. In our previous study, a specific Nb against the PRRSV nucleocapsid (N) protein was screened using phage display technology. For this study, we developed a novel recombinant protein constituting a TAT-conjugated Nb, which we call TAT-Nb1. The target cell entry efficiency of TAT-Nb1 and its effect on PRRSV infection and replication were then investigated. Our results indicate that TAT delivered Nb1 into Marc-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, TAT-Nb1 dose-dependently suppressed PRRSV infection and replication, where this antiviral effect was independent of PRRSV strain. Co-immunoprecipitation results revealed that Nb1 efficiently interacted with the N protein of PRRSV. Taken together, the presented results suggest that TAT-Nb1 can effectively suppress PRRSV replication, and it may be considered as a new anti-PRRSV candidate drug.
