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

Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (EIF2) signaling plays a crucial role in regulating mRNA translation and initiating eukaryotic protein synthesis. Computational molecular network pathway analysis of the canonical pathways of the coronaviral infection revealed that EIF2 signaling is inactivated when the coronavirus pathogenesis pathway is activated and vice versa. Our computational analyses indicated that the coronavirus pathogenesis pathway and EIF2 signaling had inverse activation states. Computational investigation of upstream or downstream microRNA (miRNA) revealed that EIF2 signaling directly interacted with miRNAs, including let-7, miR-1292-3p (miRNAs with the seed CGCGCCC), miR-15, miR-34, miR-378, miR-493, miR-497, miR-7, miR-8, and MIRLET7. A total of 36 nodes, including 8 molecules (ATF4, BCL2, CCND1, DDIT3, EIF2A, EIF2AK3, EIF4E, and ERK1/2), 1 complex (the ribosomal 40s subunit), and 1 function (apoptosis) in the coronavirus pathogenesis pathway, overlapped with EIF2 signaling. Alterations in EIF2 signaling may play a role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus.
