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

We have performed an integrative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences from different countries. Apart from mutational analysis, we have predicted host antiviral miRNAs targeting virus genes, PTMs in the virus proteins and antiviral peptides. A comparison of the analyses with other coronavirus genomes has been performed, wherever possible. Our analysis confirms unique features in the SARS-CoV-2 genomes absent in other evolutionarily related coronavirus family genomes, which presumably confer unique infection, transmission and virulence capabilities to the virus. For understanding the crucial factors involved in host-virus interactions, we have performed Bioinformatics aided analysis integrated with experimental data related to other corona viruses. We have identified 42 conserved miRNAs that can potentially target SARS-CoV-2 genomes. Interestingly, out of these, 3 are previously reported to exhibit antiviral activity against other respiratory viruses. Gene expression analysis of known host antiviral factors reveals significant over-expression of
