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

COVID-19 an outbreak of a novel corona virus originating from Wuhan, China in December 2019 has now spread across the entire world and has been declared a pandemic by WHO. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a receptor protein that interacts with the spike glycoprotein of the host to facilitate the entry of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) hence causing the disease (COVID-19). Our experimental design is based on bioinformatics approach that combines sequence, structure and consensus based tools to label a protein coding single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as damaging/deleterious or neutral. The interaction of wildtype ACE2-spike glycoprotein and their variants were analyzed using docking studies. The mutations W461R, G405E and F588S in ACE2 receptor protein and population specific mutations P391S, C12S and G1223A in the spike glycoprotein were predicted as highly destabilizing to the structure of the bound complex. So far, no extensive in silico study has been reported that identifies the effect of SNPs on Spike glycoprotein-ACE2 interaction exploring both sequence and structural features. To this end, this study conducted an in-depth analysis that facilitates in identifying the mutations that blocks the interaction of two proteins that can result in stopping the virus from entering the host cell.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
