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

backgroundThe outbreak of COVID-19 sweeping the globe in 2020 has caused widespread fear and threatened global health security. Compared to SARS and MERS, COVID-19 also causes severe respiratory diseases and even fatal diseases but have many differences, such as the unidentified gene sequence and replication mechanism. From SARS to MERS, and then to COVID-19, coronaviruses have significant variations in host adaptation, virus evolution, infectivity, spread, and pathogenicity due to its unique replication mechanism.

methodsA field of research for the coronavirus replication in humans was visualized with a database covering 9177 kinds of literature in Web of Science from 2002 through October 2021 to provide cognitive direction for the epidemic situation of virus infection. Knowledge Mapping by CiteSpace and Bibliometrix Package in R Software was drawn to depict the underlying features of viral replication and changing trends of studies, with these analyses including co-citation, density visualization, keyword clustering, and time zone.

resultsThe keyword frequencies of "replication," ''infection," and ''spike protein" repeatedly appeared in published papers. Coronavirus can promote or inhibit apoptosis, depending on the balance between viral protein and apoptotic factors. When the living environment of cells is irreversibly damaged by the virus, cells have to start the apoptosis mechanism to prevent the replication, transmission, and spread of the virus. The replication, assembly and transmission of coronavirus can inhibit cells from entering the apoptosis prematurely with the fusion of spike protein and cell receptor in human.

conclusionOur results indicated that "viral infection," spike protein," and "mutation" might be future research hotspots on coronavirus replication in humans. The attention should be paid to the mutations of S protein and these mutants carrying mutations.
