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

Hantaan virus is a dangerous human pathogen whose segmented negative-stranded RNA genome is replicated and transcribed by a virally-encoded multi-functional polymerase. Here we describe the complete cryo-electron microscopy structure of Hantaan virus polymerase in several oligomeric forms. Apo polymerase protomers can adopt two drastically different conformations, which assemble into two distinct symmetric homodimers, that can themselves gather to form hexamers. Polymerase dimerization induces the stabilization of most polymerase domains, including the C-terminal domain that contributes the most to dimer's interface, along with a lariat region that participates to the polymerase steadying. Binding to viral RNA induces significant conformational changes resulting in symmetric oligomer disruption and polymerase activation, suggesting the possible involvement of apo multimers as protecting systems that would stabilize the otherwise flexible C-terminal domains. Overall, these results provide insights into the multimerization capability of Hantavirus polymerase and may help to define antiviral compounds to counteract these life-threatening viruses.
