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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a receptor to enter host cells, and primary receptor recognition of the spike protein is a major determinant of the host range of SARS-CoV-2. Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, a considerable number of variants have emerged. However, the determinants of host tropism of SARS-CoV-2 remain elusive. We conducted infection assays with chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 carrying the spike protein from 10 viral variants, assessing their entry efficiency using mammalian ACE2 orthologs from species that have close contact with humans. We found that only murine ACE2 exhibited different susceptibilities to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 variants. Moreover, we revealed that the mutation N501Y in the viral spike protein has a crucial role in determining the infectivity of cells expressing murine ACE2 and of mice
