Poxvirus Host-Range Determinants: SAMD9/9L and Beyond.
Review in Annual review of virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 recent global spread of mpox virus, facilitated by a newly established human-to-human transmission mode, has rekindled interest in poxviruses and the molecular factors defining their host range. Poxviruses employ host-range factors, a subset of their immune evasion proteins, to overcome cell-intrinsic defenses in specific cell types or host species. Over the past decade, investigations of these factors have revealed previously unrecognized antiviral mechanisms and expanded our understanding of innate immunity. Among the key developments are the discovery of novel restriction factors, including SAMD9 and SAMD9L (SAMD9/9L), and expanded roles for established antiviral proteins such as IFITs, FAM111A, and ZAP. These advances not only clarify how poxvirus host range is determined but also offer valuable insights into the complexity and evolution of mammalian innate immunity. Here, I highlight new findings on poxvirus host-range determinants, with a particular focus on SAMD9/9L and the three distinct classes of poxvirus host-range factors that antagonize them.
