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

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. The disease presents with various manifestations that can vary in severity and long-term outcomes. Previous efforts have contributed to the development of effective strategies for treatment and prevention by uncovering the mechanism of viral infection. We now know all the direct protein-protein interactions that occur during the lifecycle of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but it is critical to move beyond these known interactions to a comprehensive understanding of the "full interactome" of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which incorporates human microRNAs (miRNAs), additional human protein-coding genes, and exogenous microbes. Potentially, this will help in developing new drugs to treat COVID-19, differentiating the nuances of long COVID, and identifying histopathological signatures in SARS-CoV-2-infected organs. To construct the full interactome, we developed a statistical modeling approach called MLCrosstalk (multiple-layer crosstalk) based on latent Dirichlet allocation. MLCrosstalk integrates data from multiple sources, including microbes, human protein-coding genes, miRNAs, and human protein-protein interactions. It constructs "topics" that group SARS-CoV-2 with genes and microbes based on similar patterns of co-occurrence across patient samples. We use these topics to infer linkages between SARS-CoV-2 and protein-coding genes, miRNAs, and microbes. We then refine these initial linkages using network propagation to contextualize them within a larger framework of network and pathway structures. Using MLCrosstalk, we identified genes in the IL1-processing and VEGFA-VEGFR2 pathways that are linked to SARS-CoV-2. We also found that Rothia mucilaginosa and Prevotella melaninogenica are positively and negatively correlated with SARS-CoV-2 abundance, a finding corroborated by analysis of single-cell sequencing data.
