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

Infectious Clones represent a foundational technique in the field of reverse genetics, allowing for the construction and manipulation of full-length viral genomes. The main methods currently used for constructing viral infectious clones include Transformation-associated recombination (TAR), which is based on Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) and Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC). The YAC and BAC systems are powerful tools that enable the clones and manipulation of large DNA fragments, making them well-suited for the construction of full-length viral genomes. These methods have been successfully applied to construct infectious clones for a wide range of viruses, including coronaviruses, herpesviruses, flaviviruses and baculoviruses. The rescued recombinant viruses from these infectious clones have been widely used in various research areas, such as vaccine development, antiviral drug screening, pathogenesis and virulence studies, gene therapy and vector design. However, as different viruses possess unique biological characteristics, the challenge remains in how to rapidly obtain infectious clones for future research. In summary, this review introduced the development and applications of infectious clones, with a focus on the YAC, BAC and combined YAC-BAC technologies. We emphasize the importance of these platforms in various research areas and aim to provide deeper insights that can advance the platform and broaden its application horizons.
