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

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is considered a promising viral vector for the expression and delivery of foreign genes for the development of a new generation of multi-valent vaccines against PRRSV and other porcine viruses, as well as for analyses of the immune response against PRRSV and anti-PRRSV component screening. In the present study, the junction site between nsp1β and nsp2 in the PRRSV genome was tested for the insertion and expression of foreign genes. Three foreign genes, including eGFP, iLOV3, and TEVp, were inserted into the intergenic junction between nsp1β and nsp2 and expressed by the respective recombinant PRRSVs (rPRRSV-SH01-eGFP, rPRRSV-SH01-iLOV3, and rPRRSV-SH01-TEVp) in vitro in mammalian cells. Analysis of the growth kinetics of the rescued recombinant PRRSVs showed no significant differences between the recombinant PRRSVs and their parental viruses. The inserted genes were consistently present in the viral genome during serial passage in vitro (for at least 20 passages). In addition, rPRRSV-SH01-eGFP can be used as a reporter virus for rapid detection of neutralizing antibodies against PRRSV through a fluorescent focus unit reduction-based assay. These data demonstrate that the junction between nsp1β and nsp2 is a new site that is suitable for the insertion and expression of foreign genes, providing a new option to express and deliver foreign genes using PRRSV-based vectors for different purposes, such as the development of multi-valent vaccines against PRRSV and other porcine viruses.
