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

Getah virus (GETV), a neglected and re-emerging mosquito-borne alphavirus, has become more serious and poses a potential threat to animal safety and public health. Given the lack of antivirals and vaccines against GETV, further development of tools, including reverse genetics techniques, is crucial for combating this pathogen. Herein, we describe the design and construction of a DNA-launched infectious clone for GETV. The full-length genome of the GETV HuN1 strain, flanked by the cytomegalovirus immediate-early (CMV) promoter sequence at the 5' end and the hepatitis delta virus ribozyme along with the bovine growth hormone termination and polyadenylation signal sequences at the 3' end, was packaged in a bacterial artificial chromosome vector to establish the GETV infectious clone pBR322-GETV-HuN1. In parallel, recombinant reporter viruses carrying the reporter gene EGFP between the E1 gene and the 3' UTR were constructed on the basis of the established CMV-driven cDNA clone. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that the rescued recombinant virus (rGETV-HuN1 and rGETV-EGFP) possesses viral biological activity similar to that of the parental virus. In summary, this study develops a concise and efficient GETV infectious cDNA clone and a recombinant virus carrying an EGFP reporter gene. The availability of GETV infectious clones will facilitate further studies on understanding the molecular mechanisms of GETV biology, virulence determinants, molecular pathogenesis, vaccine development and virus‒host interactions.
