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 thick mucus layer covering of the intestinal epithelium has received increasing attention, owing to its protective role in intestinal infection. However, the exact mechanisms by which the mucus increases intestinal resistance against viral infection remain largely unclear. Here, we identify prominent antiviral activity of the small intestinal mucus and extracted total mucus proteins, as evidenced by their inhibitory effects against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection. Of all the extracted mucus proteins, mucin 2 and fraction III (~70 kDa) exhibited potent antiviral activity. We further evaluated the antiviral effects of three candidate factors in fraction III and found that calpain-1 contributed substantially to its antiviral activity.
