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

backgroundApplication of a virus-like particle (VLP) as a nanocontainer to encapsulate double stranded (ds)RNA to control viral infection in shrimp aquaculture has been extensively reported. In this study, we aimed at improving VLP's encapsulation efficiency which should lead to a superior fighting weapon with disastrous viruses.

resultsWe constructed 2 variants of chimeric Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV)-like particles (V1- and V2-MrN-VLPs) and tested their efficiency to encapsulate VP37 double stranded RNA as well as WSSV protection in P. vannamei. Two types of short peptides, RNA-binding domain (RBD) and deca-arginine (10R) were successfully engineered into the interior surface of VLP, the site where the contact with VP37-dsRNA occurs. TEM and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses revealed that the chimeric VLPs remained their assembling property to be an icosahedral symmetric particle with a diameter of about 30 nm, similar to the original MrN-VLP particle. The superior encapsulation efficiency of VP37-dsRNA into V2-MrN-VLP was achieved, which was slightly better than that of V1-MrN-VLP but far better (1.4-fold) than its parental V0-MrN-VLP which the mole ratio of 7.5-10.5 for all VLP variants. The protection effect against challenging WSSV (as gauged from the level of VP37 gene and the remaining viral copy number in shrimp) was significantly improved in both V1- and V2-MrN-VLP compared with an original V0-MrN-VLP template.

conclusionMrN-VLP (V0-) were re-engineered interiorly with RBD (V1-) and 10R (V2-) peptides which had an improved VP37-dsRNA encapsulation capability. The protection effect against WSSV infection through shrimp administration with dsRNA + V1-/V2-MrN VLPs was experimentally evident.
