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

Emerging and re-emerging zoonotic viral diseases continue to significantly impact public health. Of particular interest are enveloped viruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, the causative pathogen of COVID-19), which include emerging pathogens of highest concern. Enveloped viruses contain a viral envelope that encapsulates the genetic material and nucleocapsid, providing structural protection and functional bioactivity. The viral envelope is composed of a coordinated network of glycoproteins and lipids. The lipid composition of the envelope consists of lipids preferentially appropriated from host cell membranes. Subsequently, changes to the host cell lipid metabolism and an accounting of what lipids are changed during viral infection provide an opportunity to fingerprint the host cell's response to the infecting virus. To address this issue, we comprehensively characterized the lipid composition of VeroE6-TMPRSS2 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2. Our approach involved using an innovative solid-phase extraction technique to efficiently extract cellular lipids combined with liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. We identified lipid changes in cells exposed to SARS-CoV-2, of which the ceramide to sphingomyelin ratio was most prominent. The identification of a lipid profile (i.e., lipid fingerprint) that is characteristic of cellular SARS-CoV-2 infection lays the foundation for targeting lipid metabolism pathways to further understand how enveloped viruses infect cells, identifying opportunities to aid antiviral and vaccine development.
