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

Reverse-transcribing viruses (RTVs) characterized by reverse transcription required for their replication infect nearly all the eukaryotes. After decades of extensive analyses and discoveries, the understanding of the diversity of RTVs has largely stagnated. Herein, we discover a previously neglected lineage of RTVs, designated Kuafuorterviruses, in animals. Through screening over 8000 eukaryote genomes, we identify the presence of endogenous Kuafuorterviruses in the genomes of 169 eumetazoans dispersed across 11 animal phyla. Phylogenetic analyses and sequence similarity networks indicate that Kuafuorterviruses constitute a novel major lineage of RTVs. The discovery of Kuafuorterviruses refines our understanding of the diversity, evolution, and classification of RTVs and has implications in annotating animal genomes.
