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

Poxviruses comprise pathogens that are highly pathogenic to humans and animals, causing diseases such as smallpox and mpox (formerly monkeypox). The family also contains members developed as vaccine vectors and oncolytic agents to fight other diseases. Vaccinia virus is the prototype poxvirus and the vaccine used to eradicate smallpox. Poxvirus genes follow a cascade temporal expression pattern, categorized into early, intermediate, and late stages using distinct transcription factors. This review comprehensively summarized the temporal expression classification of over 200 vaccinia virus genes. The relationships between expression classes and functions, as well as different branches of immune responses, were discussed. Based on the vaccinia virus orthologs, we classified the temporal expression classes of all the mpox virus genes, including a few that were not previously annotated with orthologs in vaccinia viruses. Additionally, we reviewed the functions of all vaccinia virus genes based on the up-to-date published papers. This review provides a readily usable resource for researchers working on poxvirus biology, medical countermeasures, and poxvirus utility development.
