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

Reporter influenza A viruses (IAVs) are valuable tools for studying virus fitness, screening antivirals, and assessing host-virus interactions. However, the compact and segmented nature of the IAV genome presents major challenges for engineering genetically stable reporter viruses with minimal fitness defects. To address this, we developed a replication-competent IAV incorporating a tandem split-GFP reporter strategy. Specifically, we appended seven tandem repeats of the GFP11 peptide (GFP11×7) to the C-terminus of the PB2 or PA polymerase subunit. Viruses either contained or lacked a self-cleaving 2A peptide between the viral and reporter genes, thereby creating polymerase fusion proteins or released GFP, respectively. These viruses are complemented in
