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

SARS-CoV-2's remarkable resistance to nucleotide analog antivirals such as remdesivir, which thwarts RNA synthesis by inhibiting viral polymerase (RdRp), challenges available therapies. We reveal that remdesivir incorporation destabilizes RdRp-RNA complex while enhancing RNA binding to the proofreading exoribonuclease (ExoN), facilitating remdesivir excision. Conserved ExoN determinants for remdesivir recognition and excision underpin ExoN-mediated resistance across all coronaviruses. These findings inform the design of next-generation antivirals and combination therapies capable of overcoming ExoN-mediated resistance.
