Visualizing intermediate stages of viral membrane fusion by cryo-electron tomography.
Review in Trends in biochemical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Protein-mediated membrane fusion is the dynamic process where specialized protein machinery undergoes dramatic conformational changes that drive two membrane bilayers together, leading to lipid mixing and opening of a fusion pore between previously separate membrane-bound compartments. Membrane fusion is an essential stage of enveloped virus entry that results in viral genome delivery into host cells. Recent studies applying cryo-electron microscopy techniques in a time-resolved fashion provide unprecedented glimpses into the interaction of viral fusion proteins and membranes, revealing fusion intermediate states from the initiation of fusion to release of the viral genome. In combination with complementary structural, biophysical, and computation modeling approaches, these advances are shedding new light on the mechanics and dynamics of protein-mediated membrane fusion.
