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

Cells expressing wild-type influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) or HA with a point mutation within the transmembrane domain (G520L) were bound to red blood cells and exposed to low pH for short times at suboptimal temperatures followed by reneutralization. This produced intermediate states of fusion. The ability of intermediate states to proceed on to fusion when temperature was raised was compared kinetically. In general, for wild-type HA, fusion occurred more quickly by directly lowering pH at 37 degrees C in the bound state than by raising temperature at the intermediate stage. When pH was lowered for 1-2 min, kinetics of fusion upon raising temperature of an intermediate slowed the longer the intermediate was maintained at neutral pH. But for a more sustained (10 min) acidification, kinetics was independent of the time the intermediate was held at neutral pH before triggering fusion by raising temperature. In contrast, generating intermediates in the same way with G520L yielded kinetics of fusion that did not depend on the time intermediates were maintained after reneutralization. For both HA and G520L, the extents of fusion did not depend on the temperature at which pH was lowered, but fusion from the intermediate was extremely sensitive to the temperature to which the cells were raised. The measured kinetics and temperature dependencies suggest that the rate-limiting step of fusion occurs subsequent to formation of any of the intermediates; the conformational change of HA into its final configuration may be the rate-limiting step.
