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

As a member of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, African swine fever virus (ASFV) has been proposed to include an intriguing nuclear stage for DNA replication. In this report, we revisited this early event by using the ASFV type II strain HN09 as a model organism. Our studies began with dissecting the early stages of the ASFV life cycle via analyses by viral growth kinetics, electron microscopy, and quantitative PCR (qPCR). We showed that the single replication cycle lasted about 9 h, with the initial early mRNA transcription taking place around 0.5 h upon virus incubation with host cells, a timing that is much earlier than previously found; the viral DNA replication occurred around 4-5 hours post-infection (hpi), coinciding with the formation of early viral factory (VF), followed by virion morphogenesis at 6-9 hpi. The time-course tracking of viral genomic and newly synthesized DNA via EdU (5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine) labeling and DNAscope
