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

Avian influenza, a disease caused by avian influenza virus (AIV), mainly infects birds but can also infect mammals, which poses a serious threat to public health. Therefore, thorough understanding of its pathogenic mechanism and the identification of antiviral targets are essential for the prevention, control, and treatment of AIV. The polymerase acidic protein (PA) is a core component of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex and plays a central role in viral transcription through its cap-snatching activity during early infection. We employed a multi-omics approach combining transcriptome analysis with PA interaction proteomics to characterize host responses during AIV infection and explore the PA-host interaction network. Transcriptomics revealed a polarized host response marked by activated translation-related processes, mitochondrial energy metabolism, and innate immune signaling, alongside broad suppression of nuclear transcriptional regulation and cell cycle pathways. Immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry identified host proteins associated with PA that were enriched in RNA metabolism, ribosome biogenesis, and protein homeostasis. Integrative analysis of transcriptomic and interactome data, along with protein-protein interaction network analysis, prioritized a subset of high-confidence PA-interacting host factors. Among these, ribosomal protein RPS27A was validated to interact with PA and to support viral replication during early infection in this study.
