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

Since 2010, highly virulent mutant GII subtype porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strains derived from GI subtype strains have caused significant economic losses in the pig industry. However, the molecular mechanism of PEDV virulence evolution remains unclear. It has been predicted that, compared to the S proteins of GI strains, five N-linked glycosylation sites have changed in the highly virulent GII PEDV strains. To investigate how changes in these sites affect PEDV virulence, we constructed five recombinant strains harboring the above mutation sites using the GII subtype rPEDV-S IMPORTANCE: The continuous emergence of novel viral variants in the current landscape poses challenges for disease prevention and control. Before 2010, PED caused by GI strains was only sporadic outbreaks and not large-scale epidemics. Since 2010, highly virulent GII strains derived from GI strains have spread worldwide and caused significant economic losses. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the differences in virulence is still unclear. In this study, the differences in the predicted glycosylation sites of the S protein between the GI and GII strains were taken as the starting point to explore the key sites responsible for the variations in PEDV virulence. The results indicate that the motifs 57ENQGVNST64 and 722NSTF725 of the S protein in the GII strains are involved in the evolution of PEDV virulence. This study provides a new perspective on the molecular mechanism of PEDV virulence evolution.
