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

Viruses express chemokine (CHK)-binding proteins to interfere with the host CHK network and thereby modulate leukocyte migration. SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid (N) protein binds a subset of human CHKs with high affinity, inhibiting their chemoattractant properties. Here, we report that both N's RNA-binding and dimerization domains participate individually in CHK binding. CHKs typically possess independent sites for binding glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and their receptor proteins. We show that the interaction with the N protein occurs through the CHK GAG-binding site, pointing the way to developing compounds that block this interaction for potential anti-coronavirus therapeutics.
