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) imposes substantial economic losses on global swine production. While modified live vaccines remain the primary prevention tool, their efficacy is compromised by the genetic variability of PRRSV. This study developed a broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets a conserved viral epitope as an alternative therapeutic strategy. Using hybridoma technology, BALB/c mice with purified PRRSV particles and screened mAb-5F2 is immunized, which demonstrated cross-lineage neutralization against PRRSV-2 (lineages 1, 5, and 8) and PRRSV-1 strains. Epitope mapping revealed two residues, Q48 and I50, of GP4, which are key motifs for interaction with mAb-5F2. Mechanistic studies revealed that the mAb-5F2 sterically hinders the GP4-CD163 interaction, reducing viral entry efficiency by 78-85% at a concentration of 50 µg mL
