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

Viruses are intracellular parasites that must use the host machinery to multiply. Identification of the host factors that perform essential functions in viral replication is thus of crucial importance to the understanding of virus-host interactions. Here we describe Ded1p, a highly conserved DExD/H-box translation factor, as a possible host factor recruited by the yeast L-A double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus. We found that Ded1p interacts specifically and strongly with Gag, the L-A virus coat protein. Further analysis revealed that Ded1p interacts with the L-A virus in an RNA-independent manner and, as a result, L-A particles can be affinity purified via this interaction. The affinity-purified L-A particles are functional, as they are capable of synthesizing RNA in vitro. Critically, using purified L-A particles, we demonstrated that Ded1p specifically promotes L-A dsRNA replication by accelerating the rate of negative-strand RNA synthesis in vitro. In light of these data, we suggest that Ded1p may be a part of the long sought after activity shown to promote yeast viral dsRNA replication. This and the fact that Ded1p is also required for translating brome mosaic virus RNA2 in yeast thus raise the intriguing possibility that Ded1p is one of the key host factors favored by several evolutionarily related RNA viruses, including the human hepatitis C virus.
