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

Post-translational modifications play crucial roles in regulating viral infections, yet roles for many modifications remain unexplored in orthoflavivirus biology. Here, we demonstrate that the UFMylation system, a post-translational modification pathway that catalyzes the transfer of UFM1 onto proteins and promotes infection by multiple orthoflaviviruses, including dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus, and yellow fever virus. We found that depletion of the UFMylation E3 ligase complex proteins UFL1 and UFBP1, as well as other UFMylation machinery components (UBA5, UFC1, and UFM1), significantly reduces orthoflavivirus infectious virion production. This regulation was specific to orthoflaviviruses as the hepacivirus and member of the broader
