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

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious and lethal swine disease, leading to enormous losses in the pig industry. K205R, a non-structural protein of ASF virus (ASFV), is abundantly expressed at the early stages of viral infection and induces a strong immune response. In our previous study, five strains of K205R-specific nanobodies (Nbs) were screened through phage display technology, among which Nb1, Nb14, Nb35, and Nb82 exhibited good affinity. In the present study, the above four Nbs were successfully expressed in HEK293T cells and exhibited strong reactivity. Four Nbs recognized linear B-cell epitopes of K205R in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems. Besides, four Nbs specifically reacted with the K205R protein of ASFV-infected cells. Two epitopes
