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

The exploitation of cellular functions and host proteins is an essential part of viral replication. The study of this interplay has provided significant insight into host cell processes in addition to advancing the understanding of the viral life-cycle. Poliovirus utilizes a multifunctional cellular protein, poly(C) binding protein 2 (PCBP2), for RNA stability, translation and RNA replication. In its cellular capacity, PCBP2 is involved in many functions, including transcriptional activation, mRNA stability and translational silencing. Using a novel protein-RNA tethering system, we establish PCBP2 as an essential co-factor in the initiation of poliovirus negative-strand synthesis. Furthermore, we identified the conserved KH domains in PCBP2 that are required for the initiation of poliovirus negative-strand synthesis, and showed that this required neither direct RNA binding or dimerization of PCBP2. This study demonstrates the novel application of a protein-RNA tethering system for the molecular characterization of cellular protein involvement in viral RNA replication.
