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

The envelope protein is essential for the replication of coronaviruses. Several structures of the envelope protein of the SARS-CoV-2 and the closely related SARS viruses are available. However, an experimental structure of the entire full-length protein in a native lipid environment has not been determined. In addition, significant structural differences exist between published models, and the conformation adopted by the C-terminal domain is only partially understood. CW-EPR power saturation and EPR lineshape analysis of 15 different labeled sites were carried out on the full-length envelope protein of SARS-CoV-2 in POPC/POPG vesicles to determine the membrane topology. In conjunction with coarse-grained molecular dynamics, the results support a model where the C-terminal domain helices as well as the N-terminal domain are in direct contact with the lipid headgroups of the ER cytoplasmic leaflet of the membrane.
