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

Earlier, our laboratory reported that purified glutathione S-transferase-virion host shutoff (GST-vhs) protein exhibited endoribonucleolytic activity in in vitro assays using as substrates in vitro-transcribed regions of IEX-1 mRNA. Here, we report that studies of the cleavage patterns of synthetic RNA oligonucleotides defined the activity of GST-vhs as being similar to that of RNase A. Thus, GST-vhs cleaved the RNA at the 3' end of single-stranded cytidine and uridine residues. Since the GST-mvhs nuclease-defective mutant protein failed to cleave the synthetic RNAs, the results unambiguously attribute the activity to vhs.
