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

Novel duck orthoreovirus (NDRV) infection induces severe splenic necrosis and immunosuppression in ducks, leading to substantial economic losses in the duck farming industry. While the avian orthoreovirus (ARV) σA protein is known to exhibit interferon (IFN) antagonistic activity, whether NDRV possesses a similar function and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study demonstrates that NDRV not only counteracts the antiviral clearance effect of type I IFN (IFN-I) but also markedly suppresses IFN-mediated signal transduction. Further investigations revealed that the NDRV σA protein specifically inhibits IFN signaling and its associated antiviral effects by blocking the nuclear translocation of STAT1/STAT2, thereby, facilitating innate immune escape. This discovery elucidates for the first time a novel mechanism by which the NDRV σA protein regulates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for the development of antiviral strategies targeting immune regulation.
