English term or phrase: mechanism underlying a potential effect of
"However, the recent effective trial with zinc acetate lozenges to reduce duration and severity of symptoms actually seems to support the importance of the availability of zinc ions. Thus, further carefully conducted clinical trials are necessary to prove or disprove the efficacy of zinc acetate lozenges against the common cold, and such trials may be of high economic value. Nevertheless, the **mechanism underlying a potential effect of** zinc acetate in the treatment of the common cold is still unclear.

No había visto "underlying" como un verbo transitivo. ¿Cómo se puede decir esto en español?

Gracias nuevamente

Explanation:
...aún no queda claro cuál es el mecanismo subyacente del efecto potencial del acetato de zinc en el tratamiento del resfrío común.

Underlying = subyacente. El verbo de la oración es to be ("is still unclear").
