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

We present the complete genome sequence of a novel alternavirus, tentatively named "Fusarium falciforme alternavirus 1 (FfAV1)", isolated from Fusarium falciforme. The host, F. falciforme strain Fod375, was isolated from a soil sample in Spain in 2012 and was found to be infected with a virus containing a tetra-segmented double-stranded (ds) RNA genome. The genome segments, designated as dsRNA1 (3529 bp), dsRNA2 (2641 bp), dsRNA3 (2459 bp), and dsRNA4 (1471 bp), each possess a single open reading frame (ORF). The protein predicted from dsRNA1 contains the typical domains of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) homologous to those of previously reported alternaviruses, while the protein predicted from dsRNA3 shows homology to alternavirus capsid proteins. The proteins encoded by dsRNA2 and dsRNA4 are of unknown function. All predicted proteins exhibited the highest sequence identity with their counterparts in Hebei alternavirus and Marquandomyces marquandii alternavirus 1. Phylogenetic analysis supported the placement of this FfAV1 isolate within the genus Alternavirus. Considering these results, we propose that FfAV1, along with the two closely related unassigned alternaviruses, represents a new species within the genus.
