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

Coronavirus (CoV) nsp15 is an endoribonuclease conserved throughout the CoV family. The enzymatic activity and crystal structure of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) nsp15 are undefined, and the protein's role in replication remains unclear. We verified the uridylate-specific endoribonuclease (EndoU) activity of IBV and found that the EndoU active sites were located in the C-terminus of nsp15 and included His223, His238, Lys278 and Tyr334. We further constructed an infectious clone of the IBV-rSD strain (rSD-wild-type [WT]) and EndoU-deficient IBVs by changing the codon for the EndoU catalytic residues to alanine. Both the rSD-WT and EndoU-deficient viruses propagated efficiently in embryonated chicken eggs. Conversely, EndoU-deficient viral propagation was severely impaired in chicken embryonic kidney cells, which was reflected in the lower viral mRNA accumulation and protein synthesis. After infecting chickens with the parental rSD-WT strain and EndoU-deficient viruses, the EndoU-deficient-virus-infected chickens presented reduced mortality, tissue injury and viral shedding.
