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

Maize yellow mosaic virus (MaYMV) (Polerovirus MAYMV, Solemoviridae) is an emerging virus with a global distribution in maize and other cereals. Transmitted by aphids in a circulative, non-propagative manner, MaYMV forms icosahedral particles and possesses a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. Three distinct phylogenetic groups of MaYMV have been described in Asia, East Africa and America. In this study, 19 genomes from Togo and Burkina Faso were sequenced using Virion-Associated Nucleic Acid-Based Metagenomics (VANA) combined with classical RT-PCR to constitute the first dataset of West African MaYMV genomic sequences. Phylogenetic analyses of global dataset of 92 genomic sequences revealed two sub-lineages within the African strain. We also identified 11 recombinant MaYMV genomes involving intra- and inter-continental exchanges. A comparative analysis of non-recombinant sequences was conducted and identified 19 molecular signatures in proteins P0, P1, P4 and P5. Notably, residue K/R 253 in P5 was lineage-specific and is located near conserved polero- and luteovirus residues known to be involved in aphid interactions, suggesting a potential role in viral transmission.
