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

Kuchijirosho virus (KJV) infects the brain of the tiger puffer, Takifugu rubripes, causing lethal disease in cultured populations. Next-generation sequencing identified eight RNA genome segments encoding proteins of 562, 498, 454, 369, 370, 164, 207, and 83 amino acids. BLAST analysis showed that segment 1 encodes a polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1)-like RNA-dependent RNA polymerase homologous to those of members of the family Amnoonviridae. Segment 5 encodes a protein that shows similarity to envelope proteins with two predicted transmembrane domains, suggesting a function as an envelope glycoprotein. The remaining segments could not be annotated due to the limited homology of their encoded proteins to known proteins. These findings indicate that KJV represents a novel lineage within the family Amnoonviridae.
