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

backgroundThe novel cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor baloxavir marboxil was approved in February 2018 for the treatment of influenza virus infection in Japan. In vitro studies have revealed that an I38T substitution in the polymerase acidic subunit (PA) is associated with reduced susceptibility of influenza viruses to baloxavir.

objectivesDevelopment of a rapid and simple method for monitoring influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), and B viruses possessing the I38T substitution in PA.

methodsThree assays were developed based on RNase H2-dependent PCR (rhPCR) and named A/H1pdm PA_I38T rhPCR, A/H3 PA_I38T rhPCR, and B PA_I38T rhPCR. The assays were evaluated using cDNAs synthesized from in vitro-transcribed PA gene RNA controls, RNAs purified from viruses isolated in the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 influenza seasons, and RNAs purified from clinical specimens collected in the 2018/2019 influenza season.

resultsThe assays developed in this study accurately discriminated PA I38 and PA T38 with high sensitivity.

conclusionsOur assays should be considered a powerful tool for monitoring the emergence of baloxavir-resistant influenza viruses.
