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

Oseltamivir, a neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor, is currently the most widely used antiviral drug for influenza worldwide. The emergence of primary oseltamivir-resistant mutations in NA protein of seasonally circulating viruses has been extensively monitored to evaluate drug efficacy. In addition to primary mutations in NA, mutations in the viral hemagglutinin (HA) protein have been observed to arise alongside NA mutations in previous laboratory selection experiments under neuraminidase inhibitor pressure, such HA mutations have not yet been reported in circulating viruses. Here, we present the experimental evidence that an A(H1N1)pdm09 virus can independently acquire oseltamivir-resistance mutations K130N or K130E in the HA receptor binding site (RBS) during serial passages under drug selection. Notably, HA-K130N mutation has been prevalent in currently circulating seasonal viruses worldwide since 2019. More importantly, we demonstrate that the HA-K130N can enhance the oseltamivir resistance conferred by the well-characterized NA-N295S mutation. Our study provides essential evidence that mutations in HA are closely associated with the occurrence of neuraminidase inhibitor resistance, highlighting the urgent need for global monitoring and assessment of oseltamivir-resistant mutations in the HA protein, in addition to NA, during the ongoing H1N1 epidemics.
