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

LY6E is an antiviral restriction factor that inhibits coronavirus spike-mediated fusion, but the cell types in vivo that require LY6E for protection from respiratory coronavirus infection are unknown. Here we used a panel of seven conditional Ly6e knockout mice to define which Ly6e-expressing cells confer control of airway infection by murine coronavirus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Loss of Ly6e in Lyz2-expressing cells, radioresistant Vav1-expressing cells and non-haematopoietic cells increased susceptibility to murine coronavirus. Global conditional loss of Ly6e expression resulted in clinical disease and higher viral burden after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but little evidence of immunopathology. We show that Ly6e expression protected secretory club and ciliated cells from SARS-CoV-2 infection and prevented virus-induced loss of an epithelial cell transcriptomic signature in the lung. Our study demonstrates that lineage confined rather than broad expression of Ly6e sufficiently confers resistance to disease caused by murine and human coronaviruses.
