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

Betanodaviruses are small positive-sense bipartite RNA viruses that infect a wide variety of fish species and are notorious for causing lethal outbreaks in juvenile fish hatcheries worldwide. The function of a small nonstructural protein, B2, encoded by the subgenomic RNA3 of betanodaviruses, has remained obscure. Greasy grouper nervous necrosis virus, a betanodavirus model, was used to develop a facile DNA-based reverse genetics system that recapitulated the virus infection cycle, and we used this system to show that B2 is a small nonstructural protein that is essential for high level accumulation of viral RNA1 after RNA transfection of fish, mammalian, and avian cells. The defect in RNA1 accumulation in a B2 mutant was partially complemented by supplying B2 RNA in trans. Confocal analysis of the cellular distribution of B2 indicated that B2 is able to enter the nucleus and accumulates there during the late stages of GGNNV infection. Using human HeLa cells as a cellular RNA interference model, we found that B2 could efficiently antagonize RNA interference, which is a property shared by the distantly related alphanodavirus B2 proteins. This function provides appears to provide an explanation, at least in part, for why B2 mutant RNA1 is severely impaired in its intracellular accumulation.
