Mutation-driven parallel evolution in emergence of ACE2-utilizing sarbecoviruses.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Mutation and recombination are two major genetic mechanisms that drive the evolution of viruses. They both exert an interplay during virus evolution, in which mutations provide a first ancestral source of genetic diversity for subsequent recombination. Sarbecoviruses are a group of evolutionarily related β-coronaviruses including human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 and a trove of related animal viruses called SARS-like CoVs (SL-CoVs). This group of members either use or not use angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as their entry receptor, which has been linked to the properties of their spike protein receptor binding domains (RBDs). This raises an outstanding question regarding how ACE2 binding originated within sarbecoviruses. Using a combination of analyses of phylogenies, ancestral sequences, structures, functions and molecular dynamics, we provide evidence in favor of an evolutionary scenario, in which three distinct ancestral RBDs independently developed the ACE2 binding trait
