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

Envelope virus replication begins with receptor binding, followed by fusion of the viral envelope with the cell membrane. The binding and fusion steps are usually mediated by envelope proteins. The ability of envelope proteins of a particular virus to bind and fuse with target cells defines the host range of the virus, known as 'viral tropism'. The mechanism(s) of fusion by the viral envelope is largely categorized as either pH-dependent or pH-independent. By redirecting the binding specificities of envelope proteins to desired target molecules while maintaining fusion activity, it is possible to redirect the tropisms of virus and viral vectors, enabling specific killing and/or transduction of desired cells in vivo. Recently, a lipid, phosphatidylserine, was also shown to mediate binding of virus, which affects the tropisms of viruses and viral vectors.
