One-step approach producing barcoded rabies virus with optimized diversity.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Mapping brain-wide neuronal connectivity is essential for understanding brain function, and barcoded rabies virus offers a powerful tool for this purpose. However, their application has been hindered by challenges in achieving sufficient barcode diversity and efficient transsynaptic transfer. While the CVS-N2cΔG strain offers improved transsynaptic transfer capabilities, producing barcoded versions of this strain has remained technically demanding. Here, we introduce an alternative one-step method for producing SAD-B19ΔG and CVS-N2cΔG strains. This streamlined approach simplifies the production process, significantly reduces production time, and eliminates background contamination. It improves the diversity and uniformity of the rabies virus barcode library. Moreover, the tracing efficiency of viruses produced by this one-step method matches that of conventional techniques. By addressing these limitations, our approach benefits the future development and application of barcoded-rabies-virus-based connectomic studies.
