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

African swine fever (ASF), caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), is an acute, febrile, highly contagious, and lethal disease that poses a severe threat to the global pig farming industry. Currently, no globally recognized, safe, and effective commercial ASF vaccine has been developed, making vaccination a crucial strategy for outbreak control. The ASFV structural proteins p72, p30, and p54 are key targets for vaccine development. In this study, we developed a novel baculovirus vector-based system for surface display of a recombinant protein comprising epitopes from p72, p30, and p54. Upon infection, the recombinant protein was expressed and anchored on the plasma membrane of Sf-9 cells. Purified virus analysis revealed that the Bac-recombinant protein enhanced gene delivery and transgene expression in mammalian cells compared to the Bac-Wild Type (Bac-WT). In a murine model, the Bac-recombinant protein induced significantly higher IFN-γ and IL-4 levels than Bac-p30 and the negative control. However, further evaluation in swine models is required to confirm its protective potential against ASFV. Furthermore, it also elicited a robust antibody response, generating high-titer Bac-recombinant protein-specific antibodies. Therefore, these findings suggest that the ASFV Bac-recombinant protein is a promising candidate for a vector-based vaccine.
