TRIM5α: A Protean Architect of Viral Recognition and Innate Immunity.
Review in Viruses, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The evolutionary pressures exerted by viral infections have led to the development of various cellular proteins with potent antiviral activities, some of which are known as antiviral restriction factors. TRIpartite Motif-containing protein 5 alpha (TRIM5α) is a well-studied restriction factor of retroviruses that exhibits virus- and host-species-specific functions in protecting against cross-primate transmission of specific lentiviruses. This specificity is achieved at the level of the host gene through positive selection predominantly within its C-terminal B30.2/PRYSPRY domain, which is responsible for the highly specific recognition of retroviral capsids. However, more recent work has challenged this paradigm, demonstrating TRIM5α as a restriction factor for retroelements as well as phylogenetically distinct viral families, acting similarly through the recognition of viral gene products via B30.2/PRYSPRY. This spectrum of antiviral activity raises questions regarding the genetic and structural plasticity of this protein as a mediator of the recognition of a potentially diverse array of viral molecular patterns. This review highlights the dynamic evolutionary footprint of the B30.2/PRYSPRY domain in response to retroviruses while exploring the guided 'specificity' conferred by the totality of TRIM5α's additional domains that may account for its recently identified promiscuity.
