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

The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues to challenge health care systems worldwide. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been responsible for the cause of global pandemic. Type 2 transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2) is important in the cell entry and spread of SARS-CoV-2 and plays a crucial role in the proteolytic cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein. Here, using reported structural data, we analyzed the molecular complex of TMPRSS2 and the S glycoprotein and further examined intermolecular interactions of natural TMPRSS2 polymorphic variants. We identified several TMPRSS2 variants that could possibly alter host susceptibility to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Molecular docking analysis revealed that G462D/G462S variants were predicted to be protective variants, whereas Q438E and S339F variants were predicted to increase susceptibility. In addition, we examined intermolecular interactions between TMPRSS2 and its two potential serine protease inhibitors, camostat mesylate and nafamostat. Further, we investigated the effect of TMPRSS2 variants on these interactions. Our structural analysis revealed that G462D, C297S and S460R variants had possibly altered the interactions with the protease inhibitors. Our results identified important TMPRSS2 variations that could be useful to develop high affinity and personalized drugs for treating COVID-19 patients.
