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

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is an important human pathogen and 'prototype pathogen' for studies of other Enteroviruses of pandemic potential. Understanding the biology of EV-A71 would inform generalizable strategies for antiviral drug, vaccine, and monoclonal antibody development. Such studies are accelerated by robust reagents to evaluate efficacy. Here, we describe and evaluate a suite of synthetic reporter constructs to accelerate EV-A71 research and therapeutic discovery. These constructs include replicons and infectious clones carrying luminescent and fluorescent reporter proteins. Among the reporters we tested were shorter luminescent and de novo-designed synthetic fluorescent proteins, which enhance genetic stability, reduce reporter gene loss and improve the utility of these reporters. This toolbox provides free access to robust and flexible assays for EV-A71 infection and replication through public repositories, promoting and accelerating open scientific discovery for this understudied emerging pathogen.
