Evidence for a non-fusogenic aquareovirus encoding a transmembrane protein.
Article in Archives of virology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Fusogenic aquareoviruses can induce host cell-cell fusion, forming syncytia via a fusion-associated transmembrane protein. However, there have been very few reports on non-fusogenic aquareoviruses encoding a membrane-associated protein. Previously, sequence-based analysis has indicated that grass carp reovirus strain 104 (GCRV-104), a non-fusogenic aquareovirus, encodes the proteins VP8 (nt 36-263) and VP15 (nt 400-822) in its genome segment S11. Here, we employed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay to experimentally annotate small coding genes in the GCRV-104 genome and confirmed that segment S11 indeed functions as bicistronic mRNA. Notably, some additional polypeptides were identified that are encoded upstream of the VP15 open reading frame (ORF), which suggests that the virus uses a novel ORF with a non-AUG initiator codon, tentatively named VP15L (nt 274-822), which is longer than the previous putative VP15 ORF. Furthermore, a transmembrane domain was identified at the N-terminus of VP15L, but its function is unclear. Thus, the aquareovirus GCRV-104 potentially encodes a transmembrane protein, which opens a new perspective on the properties of viral proteins and the pathogenesis of this non-fusogenic reovirus.
