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

Measles virus (MV) is the type species of the Morbillivirus genus and its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex is comprised of two viral polypeptides, the large (L) and the phospho- (P) proteins. Sequence alignments of morbillivirus L polymerases have demonstrated the existence of three well-conserved domains (D1, D2, and D3) which are linked by two variable hinges (H1 and H2). Epitope tags (c-Myc) were introduced into H1 and H2 to investigate the tolerance of the variable regions to insertions and to probe the flexibility of the proposed domain structures to spatial reorientation. Insertion into H1 abolished polymerase activity whereas introduction into H2 had no effect. The open reading frame of enhanced green fluorescent protein was also inserted into the H2 region of the MV L gene to extend these observations. This resulted in a recombinant protein that was both functional and autofluorescent, although the overall polymerase activity was reduced by over 40%. Two recombinant viruses which contained the chimeric L genes EdtagL(MMc-mycM) and EdtagL(MMEGFPM) were generated. Tagged L proteins were detectable, by indirect immunofluorescence in the case of EdtagL(MMc-mycM) and by autofluorescence in the case of EdtagL(MMEGFPM). We suggest that D3 enjoys a limited conformational independence from the other domains, indicating that the L polymerases of the Mononegavirales may function as multidomain proteins.
