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

BoAHV1 is a significant cattle pathogen, resulting in substantial economic losses worldwide. B-cell epitopes within the viral proteins are not well understood. In this study, we screened a 12-mer phage display peptide library using a commercial BoAHV1 antibody. A total of 16 phage clones displaying individual 12-mer peptides were identified as reactive with this antibody using dot bot analysis. Through sequence alignment, 10 putative BoAHV1 B-cell epitopes, designated as PV109, PV108, PV116, PV59, PV50, PV130, PV113, PV49, PV62, and PV133, located within viral proteins gB, gC, gG, gM, UL36, UL37, and UL49, respectively, were recognized by both commercial BoAHV1 antibody andBoAHV1 IgG positive cattle serum through dot blot assay. Interestingly, immunization of mice with the synthesized peptide PV116 led to the production of antibodies suitable for Western blot analysis. Furthermore, an ELISA kit for the detection of BoAHV1 IgG antibodies in serum was developed, utilizing the identified epitope PV49, PV108, PV109, and PV116 as coating antigen. Collectively, we have identified 10 novel B-cell epitopes ofBoAHV1. Among them, PV116 is capable of inducing the production of antibodies suitable for Western blotting assay, which also shows potential for the development diagnostic tools.
