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

Human respirovirus 3 (also known as human parainfluenza virus 3; hPIV3) is a major cause of severe acute respiratory infections in vulnerable populations. Here we conducted a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 library screen to identify key host factors for hPIV3 infection. In addition to identifying several host proteins involved in glycosylation as proviral factors, we identified β-1,4-N-Acetyl-Galactosaminyltransferase 2 (β4GALNT2) as a potent restriction factor. Further investigation demonstrated that the addition of a GalNAc residue to α2-3-sialylated glycans by β4GALNT2, resulting in the Sd
