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

Full-length poxvirus N1R/p28 orthologous proteins feature a prominent C-terminal RING zinc-finger motif. The RING moiety is conspicuously mutated in a number of vaccinia virus strains relative to variola virus. This, together with empirical data, suggests that N1R/p28 proteins promote virulence by suppressing apoptosis. Poxvirus N1R/p28 orthologues are strikingly similar to the RING motif of the cellular Makorin family of zinc-finger proteins, suggesting a homologous relationship connecting the viral and cellular genes. Recently identified avipox N1R/p28 orthologues further encode additional Makorin-like zinc-finger motifs, consistent with this suggestion. Phylogenetic analysis supports a model of poxviral capture of a MKRN cDNA and fusion with an existing viral gene. Establishing an evolutionary link between the viral and cellular genes will facilitate the elucidation of their respective cellular functions, and of how they interact in modulating virulence.
