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
Nucleoprotein (N) is well known for its function in the encapsidation of the genomic RNAs of negative-strand RNA viruses, which leads to the formation of ribonucleoproteins that serve as templates for viral transcription and replication. However, the function of the N protein in other aspects during viral infection is far from clear. In this study, the N protein of snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV), a kind of fish rhabdovirus, was proved to be ubiquitinated mainly via K63-linked ubiquitination. We identified nine host E3 ubiquitin ligases that interacted with SHVV N, among which seven E3 ubiquitin ligases facilitated ubiquitination of the N protein. Further investigation revealed that only two E3 ubiquitin ligases, Siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (Siah2) and leucine-rich repeat and sterile alpha motif containing 1 (LRSAM1), mediated K63-linked ubiquitination of the N protein. SHVV infection upregulated the expression of Siah2 and LRSAM1, which maintained the stability of SHVV N. Besides, overexpression of Siah2 or LRSAM1 promoted SHVV replication, while knockdown of Siah2 or LRSAM1 inhibited SHVV replication. Deletion of the ligase domain of Siah2 or LRSAM1 did not affect their interactions with SHVV N but reduced the K63-linked ubiquitination of SHVV N and SHVV replication. In summary, Siah2 and LRSAM1 mediate K63-linked ubiquitination of SHVV N to facilitate SHVV replication, which provides novel insights into the role of the N proteins of negative-strand RNA viruses. IMPORTANCE: Ubiquitination of viral protein plays an important role in viral replication. However, the ubiquitination of the nucleoprotein (N) of negative-strand RNA viruses has rarely been investigated. This study aimed at investigating the ubiquitination of the N protein of a fish rhabdovirus SHVV (snakehead vesiculovirus), identifying the related host E3 ubiquitin ligases, and determining the role of SHVV N ubiquitination and host E3 ubiquitin ligases in viral replication. We found that SHVV N was ubiquitinated mainly via K63-linked ubiquitination, which was mediated by host E3 ubiquitin ligases Siah2 (Siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2) and LRSAM1 (leucine-rich repeat and sterile alpha motif containing 1). The data suggested that Siah2 and LRSAM1 were hijacked by SHVV to ubiquitinate the N protein for viral replication, which exhibited novel anti-SHVV targets for drug design.
