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

Eukaryotic cells rely on a highly coordinated organelle network to maintain metabolism, signaling, stress adaptation and cell survival. Membrane contact sites (MCSs) provide essential platforms for inter-organelle communication. As obligate intracellular parasites, less attention has been given to how viral perturbation of MCSs may reshape the broader organelle communication network. In this review, we focus on positive-sense RNA viruses and virus-induced membrane contact sites (vMCSs), focusing on ER-associated tethering factors, lipid transfer pathways, calcium signaling modules, and replication organelle-host organelle interfaces. Also we discuss how viruses hijack conserved host tethering systems to connect viral replication compartments with lipid transfer machinery. Further, we explore how viruses establish vMCSs that couple replication compartments to host organelles, thereby coordinating cellular homeostasis. Together, these findings suggest that viral remodeling of MCSs should be understood not only as local manipulation of individual organelles but also as a network-level reorganization of cellular homeostasis.
