Minimum InDel pattern analysis of the Zika virus.
Article in BMC genomics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundThe Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause microcephaly and congenital abnormalities in the foetus. Recent studies have provided insights into the evolution of ZIKV from the current and previous outbreaks, but the types have not been determined.
resultsWe analysed the insertions and deletions (InDels) in 212 ZIKV polyproteins and 5 Dengue virus (DENV) reference sequences. Spearman correlation tests for the minimum InDel (minInDel) patterns were used to assess the type of polyprotein. Using the minInDel frequencies calculated from polyproteins with 11 elements, likelihood estimation was conducted to correct the evolutionary distance. The minInDel-corrected tree topology clearly distinguished between the ZIKV types (I and II) with a unique minInDel character in the E protein. From the 10-year average genetic distance, the African and Asian lineages of ZIKV-II were estimated to have occurred ~ 270 years ago, which is unlikely for ZIKV-I.
conclusionsThe minInDel pattern analysis showed that the minInDel in the E protein is targetable for the rapid detection and determination of the virus types.
