mSphere of Influence: Damage in RNA virus infection-a feature or a bug?
Article in mSphere, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Katherine C. Barnett studies cell death and damage in viral infections, focusing on how these processes activate innate immunity and shape viral pathogenesis. In this mSphere of Influence article, she highlights how the work of Aguirre et al. (Nat Microbiol 2:17037, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1038/nmicrobiol.2017.37) changed her perception of how RNA viruses interact with pattern recognition receptors and how later the work of Wang et al. (Nature 616:152-158, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-05851-w) shaped her concept of cell death in viral infections. Framing these findings in different models of pathogen detection by the innate immune system, she reflects on how her understanding of the role of damage in RNA virus infection has evolved throughout her career.
