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

Internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) of certain plus-strand RNA viruses direct cap-independent initiation of protein synthesis both in vitro and in vivo, as can be shown with artificial dicistronic mRNAs or with chimeric viral genomes in which IRES elements were exchanged from one virus to another. Whereas IRESs of picornaviruses can be readily analyzed in the context of their cognate genome by genetics, the IRES of hepatitis C virus (HCV), a Hepacivirus belonging to Flaviviridae, cannot as yet be subjected to such analyses because of difficulties in propagating HCV in tissue culture or in experimental animals. This enigma has been overcome by constructing a poliovirus (PV) whose translation is controled by the HCV IRES. Within the PV/HCV chimera, the HCV IRES has been subjected to systematic 5' deletion analyses to yield a virus (P/H710-d40) whose replication kinetics match that of the parental poliovirus type 1 (Mahoney). Genetic analyses of the HCV IRES in P/H710-d40 have confirmed that the 5' border maps to domain II, thereby supporting the validity of the experimental approach applied here. Additional genetic experiments have provided evidence for a novel structural region within domain II. Arguments that the phenotypes observed with the mutant chimera relate solely to impaired genome replication rather than deficiencies in translation have been dispelled by constructing novel dicistronic poliovirus replicons with the gene order [PV]cloverleaf-[HCV]IRES-Deltacore-R-Luc-[PV]IRES-F-Luc-P2,3-3'NTR, which have allowed the measurement of HCV IRES-dependent translation independently from the replication of the replicon RNA.
