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 present a protocol for analyzing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in interferon signaling using luciferase reporter assays. Here, the induction of defined promoters can be quantitatively assessed with high sensitivity and broad linear range. The results are similar to those obtained using qPCR to measure endogenous mRNA induction. The assay requires stringent normalization and confirmation of the results in more physiological settings. The protocol is adaptable for other viruses and other innate immune stimuli. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hayn et al. (2021).
