In silico mutational analysis of ACE2 to check the susceptibility of lung cancer patients towards COVID-19.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Being the second major cause of death worldwide, lung cancer poses a significant threat to the health of patients. This worsened during the era of pandemic since lung cancer is found to be more prone to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Many recent studies imply a high frequency of COVID-19 infection associated severe outcome. However, molecular studies are still lacking in this respect. Hence the current study is designed to investigate the binding affinities of ACE2 lung cancer mutants with the viral spike protein to find the susceptibility of respective mutants carrying patients in catching the virus. Quite interestingly, our study found lesser binding affinities of all the selected mutants thus implying that these cancer patients might be less affected by the virus than others. These results are opposed to the recent studies' propositions and open new avenues for more in-depth studies.
