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

backgroundBaloxavir is a cap-dependent inhibitor of the polymerase acid (PA) protein of influenza viruses. While appearing virologically superior to oseltamivir, baloxavir exhibits a low barrier of resistance. We sought to assess the impact of the common baloxavir-resistant I38T PA substitution on in vitro properties and virulence.

methodsInfluenza A/Quebec/144147/2009 (H1N1)pdm09 and A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (H3N2) recombinant viruses and their I38T PA mutants were compared in single and competitive infection experiments in ST6GalI-MDCK cells and C57/BL6 mice. Virus titers in cell culture supernatants and lung homogenates were determined by virus yield assays. Ratios of wild-type (WT) and I38T mutant were assessed by digital RT-PCR.

resultsI38T substitution did not alter the replication kinetics of A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) viruses. In competition experiments, a 50%:50% mixture evolved to 70%:30% (WT/mutant) for A(H1N1) and 88%:12% for A(H3N2) viruses after a single cell passage. The I38T substitution remained stable after 4 passages in vitro. In mice, the WT and its I38T mutant induced similar weight loss with comparable lung titers in both viral subtypes. The mutant virus tended to predominate over the WT in mouse competition experiments.

conclusionThe fitness of baloxavir-resistant I38T PA mutants appears relatively unaltered in seasonal subtypes warranting surveillance for its dissemination.
