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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAfrican Swine Fever (ASF) is one of the most significant infectious diseases affecting both domestic pig and wild boar populations, leading to substantial economic and biosanitary consequences. In Europe, disease management relies on stringent biosecurity measures and surveillance through diagnosis, highlighting the urgent need for an effective and safe vaccine for ASF control. In this context, the VACDIVA project has generated several promising vaccine candidates, including those with the EP153R gene deleted and replaced by the eGFP reporter gene.

methodsIn this study, pEP153R and eGFP proteins were produced using recombinant technology and demonstrated their antigenicity and DIVA capability through indirect ELISA. Additionally, a prototype serological DIVA test was designed and developed. The assay is based on the detection of antibodies against both DIVA antigens and the well-established immunogenic p72 protein.

resultsThis preliminary DIVA diagnostic assay complements vaccine candidates based on a genotype II ASFV strain, featuring the deletion of the EP153R gene and/or the insertion of the eGFP reporter gene, exemplified by the Lv17/WB/Rie1-∆CD vaccine candidate.

conclusionsThis approach could potentially improve surveillance during prospective vaccination campaigns.
