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

Aegerolysins are lipid-binding proteins associated with multiple functions, including membrane pore-formation, insecticidal toxicity and defence against predators. Whilst distributed over the kingdoms of the Tree of Life, ascoviruses are the only representative viruses that encode an aegerolysin-like protein. Ascoviruses are entomopathogenic and possess a large dsDNA genome. The present study aimed to functionally characterize the aegerolysin-like protein of Heliothis virescens ascovirus 3h (HvAV-3h), encoded by ORF85, and to explore its potential roles in the interaction between the ascovirus and its host. Our results demonstrate the importance of this species-specific protein to HvAV-3h replication in host cells.
