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

Many enveloped viruses enter cells through the endocytic network, from which they must subsequently escape through fusion of viral and endosomal membranes. This membrane fusion is mediated by virus-encoded spikes that respond to the dynamic endosomal environment, which triggers conformational changes in the spikes that initiate the fusion process. Several fusion triggers have been identified and include pH, membrane composition, and endosome-resident proteins, and these cues dictate when and where viral fusion occurs. We recently reported that infection with an enveloped bunyavirus requires elevated potassium ion concentrations [K
