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

We have expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae a full-length poliovirus cDNA clone under the control of the GAL10 promoter to better characterize the effect of poliovirus on host cell metabolism. We find that yeast cells are unable to translate poliovirus RNA in vivo and that this inhibition is mediated through the 5' untranslated region of the viral RNA. The in vivo inhibition of translation of poliovirus RNA and P2CAT RNA (which contains the 5' untranslated region fused upstream of the bacterial chloramphenicol transferase gene) can be mimicked in vitro in yeast translation lysates. In fact, a trans-acting inhibitor present in yeast lysates can inhibit translation of either poliovirus or P2CAT RNA in HeLa cell translation lysates. In contrast, when the inhibitor is added to translations programmed with chloramphenicol acetyltransferase RNA, yeast prepro-alpha-factor RNA, or an RNA containing the internal ribosome entry site of encephalomyocarditis virus, no inhibition is seen. The inhibitory activity has been partially purified by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. The partially purified inhibitor is heat stable, escapes phenol extraction, is resistant to proteinase K and DNase I treatment, and is sensitive to RNase A digestion, suggesting that the inhibitor is an RNA. In an in vitro translation assay, the inhibitory activity can be overcome by increasing the concentration of HeLa cell lysate but not P2CAT RNA, suggesting that the inhibitor interacts (directly or indirectly) with one or more components of the HeLa cell translational machinery rather than with the viral RNA.
