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

Background: Spaceflight environments pose unique physiological challenges due to al-tered gravity and radiation exposure. Methods: To investigate how these abiotic stressors interact with viral infections, we ana-lyzed the transcriptomic response of Results: Both LSMMG and RSE elicited distinct stress responses, including the modula-tion of oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, and immune pathways. The OrV infection alone induced robust transcriptional changes, but its impact was significantly attenuated when combined with abiotic stress, suggesting an antagonistic interaction. Notably, proviral genes such as Discussion: These findings suggest that acclimation to simulated off-Earth conditions primes the host for a dampened response to acute viral infections, potentially through re-source reallocation and transcriptional attenuation. This study provides transcriptomic insight into viral infections under space-relevant conditions, highlighting complex interac-tions between stressors and their implications for host-pathogen dynamics in extraterres-trial environments.
