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

Artemisia argyi is a significant medicinal plant in China. To date, no viruses have been reported to infect A. argyi. In this study, using the RNA-seq technique, we identified a novel marafivirus in A. argyi plants showing leaf mottle and albinism symptoms, which we have tentatively named “Artemisia argyi albinism-associated virus” (AAAaV). The AAAaV genome is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA with a length of 6749 nt, excluding the poly(A) tail, containing a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a large polyprotein. Phylogenetic analysis based on the full-length genome and polyprotein amino acid sequences revealed that AAAaV is related to members of the genus Marafivirus of the family Tymoviridae. The polyprotein of AAAaV shares 33.68-38.14% amino acid sequence identity with those of 12 closely related marafiviruses and contains five conserved domains that are characteristic of members of this genus. This discovery expands our knowledge of marafivirus diversity, host range, and viruses capable of infecting A. argyi.
