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

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a lethal, immune-mediated disease in cats caused by feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), a biotype of feline coronavirus (FCoV). In contrast to feline enteric coronavirus (FECV), which exclusively infects enterocytes and causes diarrhea, FIPV specifically targets macrophages, resulting in the development of FIP. The transmission and infection mechanisms of this complex, invariably fatal disease remain unclear, with no effective vaccines or approved drugs for its prevention or control. In this study, a full-length infectious cDNA clone of the wild-type FIPV WSU79-1149 strain was constructed to generate recombinant FIPV (rFIPV-WT), which exhibited similar growth kinetics and produced infectious virus titres comparable to those of the parental wild-type virus. In addition, the superfold green fluorescent protein (msfGFP) and Renilla luciferase (Rluc) reporter genes were incorporated into the rFIPV-WT cDNA construct to generate reporter rFIPV-msfGFP and rFIPV-Rluc viruses. While the growth characteristics of the rFIPV-msfGFP virus were similar to those of its parental rFIPV-WT, the rFIPV-Rluc virus replicated more slowly, resulting in the formation of smaller plaques than did the rFIPV-WT and rFIPV-msfGFP viruses. In addition, by replacing the S, E, M, and ORF3abc genes with msfGFP and Rluc genes, the replicon systems repFIPV-msfGFP and repFIPV-Rluc were generated on the basis of the cDNA construct of rFIPV-WT. Last, the use of reporter recombinant viruses and replicons in antiviral screening assays demonstrated their high sensitivity for quantifying the antiviral effectiveness of the tested compounds. This integrated system promises to significantly streamline the investigation of virus replication within host cells, enabling efficient screening for anti-FIPV compounds and evaluating emerging drug-resistant mutations within the FIPV genome.
