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

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus subclone B7 shows strong plaque formation and cytopathic effect induction compared with other subclones and the parental strain YG1. Compared to YG1 and the other subclones, only B7 possesses a single substitution in the L protein at the amino acid position 1891, in which N is changed to K (N1891K). In this study, we evaluate the effects of this mutation on L protein activity via a cell-based minigenome assay. Substitutions of N with basic amino acids (K or R) enhanced polymerase activity, while substitutions with an acidic amino acid (E) decreased this activity. Mutation to other neutral amino acids showed no significant effect on activity. These results suggest that the characteristic of the amino acid at position 1891 of the L protein are critical for its function, especially with respect to the charge status. Our data indicate that this C-terminal domain of the L protein may be crucial to its functions in genome transcription and viral replication.
