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

Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 (PBCV-1) elicits a lytic infection of its unicellular green alga host. The 330-kbp viral genome has been sequenced, yet little is known about how viral mRNAs are synthesized and processed. PBCV-1 encodes its own mRNA guanylyltransferase, which catalyzes the addition of GMP to the 5' diphosphate end of RNA to form a GpppN cap structure. Here we report that PBCV-1 encodes a separate RNA triphosphatase (RTP) that catalyzes the initial step in cap synthesis: hydrolysis of the gamma-phosphate of triphosphate-terminated RNA to generate an RNA diphosphate end. We exploit a yeast-based genetic system to show that Chlorella virus RTP can function as a cap-forming enzyme in vivo. The 193-amino-acid Chlorella virus RTP is the smallest member of a family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that includes the RNA triphosphatases of fungi and other large eukaryotic DNA viruses (poxviruses, African swine fever virus, and baculoviruses). Chlorella virus RTP is more similar in structure to the yeast RNA triphosphatases than to the enzymes of metazoan DNA viruses. Indeed, PBCV-1 is unique among DNA viruses in that the triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase steps of cap formation are catalyzed by separate viral enzymes instead of a single viral polypeptide with multiple catalytic domains.
