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

Viroids are noncoding circular single-stranded RNAs that are propagated systemically in plants. VirP1 is a protein from tomato, which is an excellent host for potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), and it has been isolated by virtue of its specific in vitro binding to PSTVd RNA. We report on the specific in vivo interaction of VirP1 with full-length viroid RNA as well as with subfragments in the three-hybrid system. The terminal right domain (TR) of PSTVd was identified as a strong interacting partner for VirP1. A weaker partner is provided by a right-hand subfragment of hop stunt viroid (HSVd), a viroid that infects tomato poorly. We present a sequence and structural motif of the VirP1-interacting subfragments. The motif is disturbed in the replicative but nonspreading R+ mutant of the TR. According to our in vivo and in vitro binding assays, the interaction of this mutant with VirP1 is compromised. We propose that the AGG/CCUUC motif bolsters recognition of the TR by VirP1 to achieve access of the viroid to pathways that propagate endogenous RNA systemic signals in plants. Systemic trafficking has been suggested for miRNA precursors, of which the TR, as a stable bulged hairpin 71 nt long, is quite reminiscent.
