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

Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi, yeasts, and oomycetes and can replicate and multiply within them. They are widely distributed in plant- and animal-pathogenic fungi. In this study, we identified a novel positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ ssRNA) mycovirus from Ustilaginoidea virens strain Uv339, the causal agent of rice false smut (RSF), and this virus was named "Ustilaginoidea virens narnavirus 5" (UvNV5). Sequence analysis revealed that UvNV5 has a complete genome length of 2091 nt and contains a single open reading frame (ORF) (nt 131-2038) encoding a 635-amino-acid (aa) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with a molecular mass of 71.8 kDa. BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp of UvNV5 shares only 38.22% amino acid sequence identity with that of Ustilaginoidea virens narnavirus virus 13, its closest relative. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that UvNV5 clustered within a branch alongside members of the class Amabiliviricetes. In summary, UvNV5 is a novel mycovirus of the class Amabiliviricetes that infects U. virens.
