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

Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is one of the major respiratory diseases in poultry. At present, attenuated vaccines are the main commercial vaccines, but they have many defects. We aimed to construct a novel multi-epitope DNA vaccine based on avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) S1 and N proteins for the prevention of IBV infection. We screened the dominant B and T cell epitopes of target proteins utilizing epitope prediction tools. A new high-immunogenicity epitope peptide segment named QSN was designed and screened by linking peptide. The physicochemical properties of QSN were analyzed by bioinformatics. The recombinant plasmid pEGFP-QSN was obtained by inserting the synthesized QSN gene into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1. On the 7th day of age, chicks were immunized by intramuscular injection of the plasmid, and serum specific antibody IgG, cytokines IFN-γ and IL-2, and T lymphocyte subsets were detected after booster immunization. Bioinformatics analysis showed that QSN had high hydrophilicity without transmembrane region and stable structure after binding to receptor. The recombinant eukaryotic vector was successfully constructed. Two weeks after booster immunization, compared with NS group and pEGFP-N1 group, serum IgG level, concentrations of cytokines IFN-γ and IL-2, and proportion of CD4
