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

Viruses exploit cellular machinery to complete their replication cycle. Furthering our understanding of this process provides insight into the mechanism of virus replication and potential targets for antiviral therapeutics. Genome-wide CRISPR screens have identified cellular pathways important in the SARS-COV-2 infection process, including vesicular traffic, lipid homeostasis and PI3K signalling. Functional genomics-driven analysis of host-encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) impacting SARS-CoV-2 infection would provide further unbiased and discovery-driven insight into the host-pathogen interface. Here we present findings from genome-wide complementary miRNA mimic and inhibitor screens performed in a bio-safety level (BSL)-4 laboratory using a combination of high-throughput robotics, high-content imaging and novel data analysis pipelines. This dataset has identified both miRNA promoters and inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 replication which may be used by researchers to further explore therapeutic targets against SARS-CoV-2 and the host factors influencing COVID pathogenesis.
