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

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a DNA virus that has significantly impacted the global swine industry. Currently, there are no effective therapies or vaccines against ASFV. Stress granules (SGs), known for their antiviral properties, are not induced during ASFV infection, even though reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated. The mechanism by which ASFV regulates SGs formation remains unclear. This study demonstrates that ASFV antagonises SGs formation and increases intracellular levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. The use of the GSH inhibitor BSO and the activator NAC confirmed that the ASFV-induced increase in GSH helps to suppress SGs formation and influences viral replication. Additionally, this study revealed that ASFV enhances GSH by upregulating the antioxidant transcription factor NRF2, as well as factors involved in GSH synthesis and regeneration, such as GCLC, and those related to the ferroptosis pathway, such as SLC7A11. Furthermore, the study uncovered that ASFV manipulates intracellular GSH levels by activating the mitochondrial protein AIFM1. This regulatory mechanism helps the virus inhibit the formation of intracellular SGs, thereby creating an optimal environment for viral replication. These findings provide new insights into the molecular strategies employed by ASFV.
