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

This study aimed to characterize the whole genome of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) isolated from an oropharyngeal swab specimen of a Pashtun Pakistani patient using next-generation sequencing. Upon comparing the SARS-CoV2 genome to the reference genome, a total of 10 genetic variants were identified. Among the 10 genetic variants, 1 missense mutation (c.1139A > G, p.Lys292Glu) in the Open Reading Frame 1ab (ORF1ab) positioned at 112 in the non-structural protein 2 (NSP2) was found to be unique. Phylogenetic analysis (n = 84) revealed that the current SARS-CoV2 genome was closely clustered with 8 Pakistani strains belonging to Punjab, Federal Capital, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). In addition, the current SARS-CoV2 genome was very similar to the genome of SARS-CoV2 reported from Guam, Taiwan, India, the USA, and France. Overall, this study reports a slight mismatch in the SARS-CoV2 genome, indicating the presence of a single unique missense mutation. However, phylogenetic analysis revealed that the current SARS-CoV2 genome was closely clustered with 8 other Pakistani strains.
