Viral Mechanisms and Drug Influences on Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (JAK/STAT) Pathway in Human Coronaviruses Infection: A Systematic Review.
Review in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 and Aim: Janus kinases/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway is crucial for various stages of immunity, from innate to adaptive responses. Type 1 IFNs activate JAK/STAT pathway by binding to receptors on JAK, phosphorylating STAT and upregulating interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) leading to cytokines production. Viruses, however, have developed mechanisms to prevent antiviral type I IFNs induction, resulting in active viral replication. This study seeks to review viral mechanisms, drug influences, and vitamin D supplements affecting the JAK/STAT pathway in human coronavirus infection. Methods: Literature searches were conducted across Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The study included all publications that satisfied the PRISMA criteria, were written in English, and fell within a 10-year window from July 2014 to June 2024. Forty-seven (47) studies satisfied the requirement for selection, out of which 31 studies were on viral mechanism, 12 were on drug interaction, and 2 were on vitamin D supplements. Results: There is consistent evidence of viral proteins, including ORF6, ORF8, spike, NSP14, NSP 1, and N of human coronaviruses disrupting the JAK/STAT pathway. Ruxolitinib, baricitinib, and Liantua Qingwen capsules have, however, been shown to stabilize the pathway by attacking viral proteins, inhibiting some pro-inflammatory cytokines, and downregulating STAT components to lessen cytokine storm, during hyperinflammation. Conclusion: This finding emphasizes the need for controlled regulation of JAK/STAT pathway to address coronavirus infections and immune disruptions, with continued research essential in developing targeted treatment against present and future viral threats.
