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

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a recently discovered coronavirus that poses a potential threat to the global swine industry. Although we know that aminopeptidase N (APN) is important for PDCoV replication, it is unclear whether it is the primary functional receptor, and the mechanism by which it promotes viral replication is not fully understood. Here, we systematically investigated the roles of porcine APN (pAPN) during PDCoV infection of nonsusceptible cells, including in viral attachment and internalization. Using a viral entry assay, we found that PDCoV can enter nonsusceptible cells but then fails to initiate efficient replication. pAPN and PDCoV virions clearly colocalized with the endocytotic markers RAB5, RAB7, and LAMP1, suggesting that pAPN mediates PDCoV entry by an endocytotic pathway. Most importantly, our study shows that regardless of which receptor PDCoV engages, only entry by an endocytotic route ultimately leads to efficient viral replication. This knowledge should contribute to the development of efficient antiviral treatments, which are especially useful in preventing cross-species transmission.
