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 (SFTSV) is an emerging bunyavirus that causes novel zoonotic diseases in Asian countries including China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. In phleboviruses, viral proteins play a critical role in viral particle formation inside the host cells. Viral glycoproteins (GPs) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) are colocalized in the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). The nucleocapsid (N) protein was widely expressed in the cytoplasm, even in cells coexpressing GP. However, the role of SFTSV N protein remains unclear. The subcellular localization of SFTSV structural proteins was investigated using a confocal microscope. Subsequently, minigenome and immunoprecipitation assays were carried out. The N protein interacts with viral RNA (vRNA) and further shows translational activity with RdRp which is L protein and localized in the ERGIC and Golgi apparatus when co-expressed with GP. On the other hand, mutant N protein did not interact with vRNA either localized in the ERGIC or Golgi apparatus. The interaction between the N protein of SFTSV and vRNA is important for the localization of viral proteins and viral assembly. This study provides useful insights into the life cycle of SFTSV, which will lead to the detection of antiviral targets.
