The Zika Virus Capsid Disrupts Corticogenesis by Suppressing Dicer Activity and miRNA Biogenesis.
Article in Cell stem cell, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 papers.
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
Zika virus (ZIKV) causes microcephaly and disrupts neurogenesis. Dicer-mediated miRNA biogenesis is required for embryonic brain development and has been suggested to be disrupted upon ZIKV infection. Here we mapped the ZIKV-host interactome in neural stem cells (NSCs) and found that Dicer is specifically targeted by the capsid from ZIKV, but not other flaviviruses, to facilitate ZIKV infection. We identified a capsid mutant (H41R) that loses this interaction and does not suppress Dicer activity. Consistently, ZIKV-H41R is less virulent and does not inhibit neurogenesis in vitro or corticogenesis in utero. Epidemic ZIKV strains contain capsid mutations that increase Dicer binding affinity and enhance pathogenicity. ZIKV-infected NSCs show global dampening of miRNA production, including key miRNAs linked to neurogenesis, which is not observed after ZIKV-H41R infection. Together these findings show that capsid-dependent suppression of Dicer is a major determinant of ZIKV immune evasion and pathogenesis and may underlie ZIKV-related microcephaly.
