The sticky business of Alphavirus capsid-host interactions.
Review in Trends in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Alphaviruses are a serious threat to global health and can cause lethal encephalitic or arthritogenic disease in humans and animals. As there are no licensed antivirals, it is critical to improve our understanding of alphavirus interactions with the host cell. Here, we focus on the essential alphavirus protein capsid. While its roles in genome packaging and virus assembly have been well-studied, much less is known about capsid's interactions with host proteins and their functional relevance for infection. Recently, several new capsid interactor candidates were identified, collectively emphasising the complexity of capsid-host biology. In this review we summarise these novel interactor candidates, highlight capsid's emerging role in immune evasion, and discuss the challenges and opportunities arising from capsid-host interactions.
