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

We have constructed a recombinant baculovirus which expressed the Semliki Forest (SFV) capsid (C) gene as a fusion protein under the control of the polyhedrin gene promoter. The sequence coding for C and part of the envelope E3 region were expressed as a polyprotein precursor. Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells infected with the recombinant virus produced a protein reacting with polyclonal rabbit antiserum that had been raised against the 33 kDa authentic C protein purified from SFV. Primer extension analyses showed that transcription from the polyhedrin promoter started in the late/very late consensus initiation motif. Due to its autoprotease activity, the recombinant C protein was contranslationally cleaved within its C-terminus and the mature protein remained undegraded for long periods of time. Spodoptera frugiperda cells infected with recombinant virus synthesized large amounts of C protein. The recombinant protein was karyophilic as is authentic SFV C protein and it was translocated into the nucleus; there, it was associated with nucleolus-like structures.
