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

The novel human coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic worldwide. Control of COVID-19 pandemic is vital for public health and is the prerequisite to maintain social stability. However, the origin and transmission route of SARS-CoV-2 is unclear, bringing huge difficult to virus control. Monitoring viral variation and screening functional mutation sites are crucial for prevention and control of infectious diseases. In this study, we developed a user-friendly software, named BioAider, for quick sequence annotation and mutation analysis on large-scale genome-sequencing data. Herein, we detected 14 substitution hotspots within 3,240 SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences, including 3 groups of potentially linked substitution. NSP13-Y541C was crucial substitution which might affect the unwinding activity of the viral helicase. In particular, we discovered a SR-rich region of SARS-CoV-2 distinct from SARS-CoV, indicating more complex replication mechanism and unique N-M interaction of SARS-CoV-2. Interestingly, the quantity of SSRX repeat fragments in SARS-CoV-2 provided further evidence of its animal origin. Overall, we developed an efficient tool for rapid identification of viral genome mutations which could facilitate viral genomic studies. Using this tool, we have found critical clues for the transmission route of SARS-CoV-2 which would provide theoretical support for the epidemic control of pathogenic coronaviruses.
