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

backgroundGoose astrovirus (GAstV) is an emerging pathogen that is widely distributed throughout China and can cause visceral gout, resulting in serious economic losses for the goose industry. Open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of this virus encodes the precursor capsid protein, which is essential for the assembly and antigenicity of these virions. To construct a bi-valent vaccine for controlling GAstV and duck enteritis virus (DEV) infection, an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone of the DEV vaccine strain pDEV-EF1 was used to establish a recombinant DEV vector for GAstV ORF2 gene delivery.

methodsGAstV ORF2 expression frame was inserted into the US7 and US8 intergenic region of DEV genome by Red E/T two-step recombinant technology, then the recombinant virus rDEV-GAstV ORF2 was rescued by transfecting recombinant clone pDEV-GAstV ORF2 into chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEFs). The expression of ORF2 in CEFs and formation of virus-like particles (VLPs) were analysed by Western blotting, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunogold electron microscopy (IEM), individually. And protein celluar localization was analysed by IFA.

resultsUsing this rDEV-GAstV ORF2 vector to infect CEFs was sufficient to elicit GAstV Cap protein expression, as confirmed by Western blotting and IFA. IEM also revealed the formation of VLPs within cells expressing this Cap protein.

conclusionsDEV is a good viral vector for GAstV ORF2 gene delivery and these results provide a basis for the development of a bivalent vaccine for controlling DEV and GAstV infections.
