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

SR proteins are essential splicing factors required for constitutive splicing and function as key regulators of alternative RNA splicing. We have shown that SR proteins purified from late adenovirus-infected cells (SR-Ad) are functionally inactivated as splicing enhancer or splicing repressor proteins by a virus-induced partial de-phosphorylation. Here, we show that SR proteins purified from late vaccinia-virus-infected cells (SR-VV) are also hypo-phosphorylated and functionally inactivated as splicing regulatory proteins. We further show that incubating SR-Ad proteins under conditions that restore the phospho-epitopes to the SR proteins results in the restoration of their activity as splicing enhancer and splicing repressor proteins. Interestingly, re-phosphorylation of SR-VV proteins only partially restored the splicing enhancer or splicing repressor phenotype to the SR proteins. Collectively, our results suggest that viral control of SR protein activity may be a common strategy used by DNA viruses to take control of the host cell RNA splicing machinery.
