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

Pandemic preparedness demands the availability of state-of-the-art tools for fundamental research on viruses to support rapid development of antiviral and prophylactic interventions. Virion composition is currently studied by a limited number of disruptive techniques, while here, a novel workflow for non-invasive and label-free biochemical fingerprinting is presented. Deep-Ultraviolet Resonance Raman spectroscopy is employed as the primary analytical tool, while stoichiometric-based spectral reconstruction and multilinear regression analysis are used to perform bottom-up and top-down biochemical characterization of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in physiological-like conditions, respectively. Raman spectra from virions and single biochemical components (lipids, amino acids and nucleotides) excited at 213 nm are used to disentangle the virus biochemical composition and to probe the mechanism of action of a lipid-disrupting virucidal drug. Available biochemical and sequence information together with single-component spectra allows the reconstruction of the full virion spectrum with excellent accuracy. Altogether, this strategy of virion biochemical fingerprinting paves the way to a better understanding of virus composition and mechanisms for inactivation.
