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

Plant viruses often manipulate host proteins to facilitate infection, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions remain largely unclear. Here, we provide evidence that the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) coat protein (CP) interacts with the host kinase CDPK7-like in Nicotiana benthamiana. In an overexpression system, this interaction facilitates liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), forming condensate-like structures that could influence host immune-related signalling. Strikingly, plants overexpressing the CDPK7-like gene exhibited significantly enhanced resistance against diverse viruses, including potato virus Y and pepper mild mottle virus, yet displayed heightened susceptibility to CMV, suggesting virus-specific hijacking. Notably, a coumarin-based small-molecule LLPS modulator D3 is developed, which selectively targets the critical Thr52 residue within CMV CP to rescue CDPK7-like from LLPS initiation. Stands in contrast to the commercial drug ribavirin (EC
