Conserved sequence features in intracellular domains of viral spike proteins.
Article in Virology, 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
Viral spike proteins mutate frequently, but conserved features within these proteins often have functional importance and can inform development of anti-viral therapies which circumvent the effects of viral sequence mutations. Through analysis of large numbers of viral spike protein sequences from several viral families, we found highly (>99%) conserved patterns within their intracellular domains. The patterns generally consist of one or more basic amino acids (arginine or lysine) adjacent to a cysteine, many of which are known to undergo acylation. These patterns were not enriched in cellular proteins in general. Molecular dynamics simulations show direct electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between these conserved residues in hemagglutinin (HA) from influenza A and B and the phosphoinositide PIP2. Super-resolution microscopy shows nanoscale colocalization of PIP2 and several of the same viral proteins. We propose the hypothesis that these conserved viral spike protein features can interact with phosphoinositides such as PIP2.
