Many Keys Unlock the Doors for Virus Entry.
Article in mBio, 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
To successfully infect, viruses must respond to cues that promote their genome delivery into host cells. These keys to virus entry frequently reside inside endocytic vesicles. In a recent mBio article, Poston et al. (D. Poston, Y. Weisblum, A. Hobbs, and P. D. Bieniasz, mBio 13:e0300221, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03002-21) identified and characterized protein complexes generating endocytic environments favorable for virus entry. These included retromer-associated vacuolar protein sorting 29 (VPS29) proteins. Without VPS29, endosomes lacked cathepsin activities, making them incapable of supporting those viruses in which endosomal proteolysis triggers entry. These protease-dependent viruses encompass several zoonotic filoviruses and coronaviruses, including recent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. The valuable findings of Poston et al. reveal retromer complexes as master keys for select endosomal virus entry processes and raise the possibility that threatening coronaviruses might be resisted through targeted inactivation of components controlling endosome structure and function.
