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

Genetic modification of vaccinia virus (VACV) is a fundamental and valuable research technique in elucidating the function of VACV genes, as well as the development as vaccine vectors for other infectious diseases, oncolytic therapeutics for cancers, and protein expression systems in mammalian cells. Because of the large size of poxvirus genome and noninfectious feature of the naked viral DNA, construction of recombinant VACV relies on intracellular homologous recombination between transfected DNA and replicating viral DNA in infected cells occurred in VACV infected cells. The efficiency of homologous recombination event for vaccinia virus is relatively low, and recombinant viruses only account for 0.1% of progeny viruses. Therefore, fluorescent protein markers are often included in the transfected DNA to facilitate the selection and screening of recombined viruses. Here we provide a detailed procedure for the design, generation, isolation, and detection of recombinant VACV by homologous recombination using fluorescent protein markers.
