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

VSV G mediates viral entry via endocytosis. In the endosome, G undergoes a pH-dependent conformational change from pre- to post-fusion state, catalyzing membrane fusion. No complete structure of G has been reported so far. We present cryo-EM structures of G, isolated from virions using detergent, alone and in complex with the broadly neutralizing antibody 8G5F1 that binds all G conformations. The post-fusion structure reveals a novel rearrangement of the C-terminal part of the G ectodomain, showing that it undergoes a conformational rearrangement and stabilizes the post-fusion trimer by nesting into a groove between adjacent fusion domains. Structures of G-Fab complex show that the epitope belongs to a conserved antigenic site, explaining the broad neutralization capacity of the antibody. This work provides insights into the molecular basis of VSV G mediated fusion and antibody recognition, with potential implications for vaccine development, oncolytic virotherapy.
