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

Cellular entry of influenza virus is mediated by the viral protein hemagglutinin (HA), which forms an initial complex of three HA1 and three HA2 subunits. Each HA2 includes a fusion peptide (FP), a soluble ectodomain (SE), and a transmembrane domain. HA1 binds to cellular sialic acids, followed by virus endocytosis, pH reduction, dissociation of HA1, and structural rearrangement of HA2 into a final trimer-of-SE hairpins. A decrease in pH also triggers HA2-mediated virus/endosome membrane fusion. SE hairpins have an interior parallel helical bundle and C-terminal strands in the grooves of the exterior of the bundle. FPs are separate helical hairpins. This study compares wild-type HA2 (WT-HA2) with G1E(FP) and I173E(SE strand) mutants. WT-HA2 induces vesicle fusion at pH 5.0, whereas the extent of fusion is greatly reduced for both mutants. Circular dichroism for HA2 and FHA2≡FP+SE constructs shows dramatic losses of stability for the mutants, including a T
