Spatial Coupling of Viral RNA Translation and Replication in Zika Infection.
Review in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, has emerged as a public health concern. Although asymptomatic or mild febrile illness in adults, ZIKV infection can lead to severe outcomes in pregnant women, including fetal microcephaly and congenital Zika syndrome. A hallmark of ZIKV pathogenesis is the virus-induced remodeling of the endoplasmic reticulum into specialized replication organelles (ROs), which function as spatially organized hubs that actively couple viral RNA synthesis with the host translation machinery. These specialized ROs enhance viral genome amplification, prioritizes viral mRNA translation, and minimizes the cytosolic exposure of immunostimulatory viral double-stranded RNA intermediates. This review explores how this spatial coupling underlies the unique tropism of ZIKV towards neural progenitor cells, a characteristic that sets it apart from other neurotropic flaviviruses. In particular, ZIKV adaptations that simultaneously promote viral replication and disrupt host neurogenesis are critically discussed.
