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

Vesicular stomatitis virus expressing the glycoprotein of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (VSV-GP) is a promising platform for oncolytic viruses and cancer vaccines. In this work, cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging was employed to directly visualize VSV-GP particles. Several different subpopulations of virus particle morphology were observed. Definition and fraction counting of subpopulations enabled quantitative comparison of subpopulation profiles between several VSV-GP samples. In developing an orthogonal method with higher throughput, we showed that the morphological profile of the VSV-GP particles can be characterized by size exclusion chromatography coupled with a multi-angle light scattering detector (SEC-MALS) based on a novel shape-based separation mechanism. Together, the two complementary techniques enable the analysis of morphological profile for VSV-GP and potentially other non-spherical viruses or nanoparticles.
