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

Hantaviruses are causing life-threatening zoonotic infections in humans. Their tripartite negative-stranded RNA genome is replicated by the multi-functional viral RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase. Here we describe the structure of the Hantaan virus polymerase core and establish conditions for in vitro replication activity. The apo structure adopts an inactive conformation that involves substantial folding rearrangement of polymerase motifs. Binding of the 5' viral RNA promoter triggers Hantaan virus polymerase reorganization and activation. It induces the recruitment of the 3' viral RNA towards the polymerase active site for prime-and-realign initiation. The elongation structure reveals the formation of a template/product duplex in the active site cavity concomitant with polymerase core widening and the opening of a 3' viral RNA secondary binding site. Altogether, these elements reveal the molecular specificities of Hantaviridae polymerase structure and uncover the mechanisms underlying replication. They provide a solid framework for future development of antivirals against this group of emerging pathogens.
