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

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever (ASF), a devastating disease epidemic in Asia and Europe. Large knowledge gaps regarding the biological characteristics of viral structural proteins have severely hindered the development of vaccines against ASF. The p22 protein, an internal envelope membrane protein of ASFV, is one such protein that is yet to be deciphered despite its significance. Here, our results indicated that p22 is not essential for the morphogenesis and replication of ASFV in porcine alveolar macrophages. The ASFV p22 negatively regulates the IFN-β-triggered activation of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway. Mechanistically, the ASFV p22 promotes the association of the Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) with the type I IFN receptor 1 (IFNAR1) via its transmembrane region, thereby facilitating the autophagic degradation of IFNAR1 and impairing the host antiviral responses at the initial step of JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These findings clarify the biological functions of p22 in ASFV replication and uncover a novel autophagy degradation mechanism for IFNAR1, which provide a novel theoretical basis for understanding the biological characteristics of ASFV and may contribute to the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies against ASF.
