Molecular and phylogenetic analysis of transmissible gastroenteritis virus strain VET-16, isolated from piglets in Vietnam.
Article in Archives of virology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a major pathogen that causes viral enteritis and severe diarrhea in newborn piglets. TGEV strains have been isolated in the USA, Europe, and China, and their molecular characteristics are well known. However, there have been few reports of molecular analysis of TGEV strains isolated in Southeast Asia. In 2016, we isolated TGEV strain VET-16 from fecal samples collected from piglets in Vietnam and determined its complete genome sequence by Sanger sequencing. We found that, while the full genome of the VET-16 strain was 92.4-99.9% identical to those of other TGEV strains, the ORF3 gene showed very little sequence similarity. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the VET-16 strain belongs to the Purdue subgroup. Comparison of the predicted amino acid (aa) sequence of the spike protein of strain VET-16 with those of other TGEV strains revealed three aa substitutions (V378L, S379T, and D380N) and a 3-aa insertion (F383_F387insWEK) in antigenic site D of the VET-16 strain. Also, a single aa deletion (∆F1413) was found in the transmembrane domain of the spike gene of VET-16. Like the ORF3 gene from the TGEV Miller M60 vaccine strain, the VET-16 strain has a large deletion (∆725 nt) in the ORF3 gene. Previous studies have suggested that these mutations in the spike and ORF3 genes might be associated with a reduction in pathogenicity. The data from this study will facilitate further genetic analysis and research into the evolution of TGEV in pigs in Vietnam.
