Multiple sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes modulate influenza virus replication.
Review in Virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 sphingolipid network is sustained principally by the balance of bioactive sphingolipid molecules and their regulation by sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes. The components in the lipid system display key functions in numerous cellular and disease conditions including virus infections. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a fruitful effort to use an inhibitor that blocks the activity of sphingosine kinase (SphK) 2 to cure the devastating disease. Support for the inhibitor came from pre-clinical research on influenza where the inhibitor demonstrated effective protection of mice from influenza-induced morbidity and mortality. This highlights the importance of basic and translational research on the sphingolipid system for improving human health. Multiple sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes have been reported to regulate influenza virus replication and propagation. In this review, the emphasis is placed on the roles of these enzymes that impact influenza virus life cycle and the conceivable mechanisms for the interplay between influenza virus and the sphingolipid pathway.
