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

Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is the most virulent pathogen in the genus IMPORTANCE: Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) poses a significant threat to the aquaculture industry, particularly in China, where grass carp is a vital commercial fish species. However, detailed information regarding how GCRV viroplasms form and their specific roles in GCRV infection remains largely unknown. We discovered that GCRV viroplasms exhibit liquid-like properties and are formed through a physico-chemical biological phenomenon known as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), primarily driven by the nonstructural protein NS80. Furthermore, we confirmed that the liquid-like properties of viroplasms are essential for virus replication, assembly, and immune evasion. Our study not only contributes to a deeper understanding of GCRV infection but also sheds light on broader aspects of viroplasm biology. Given that viroplasms are a universal feature of reovirus infection, inhibiting LLPS and then blocking viroplasms formation may serve as a potential pan-reovirus inhibition strategy.
