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

Ectromelia virus (ECTV) encodes an IFN-gamma-binding protein (IFN-gammaBP(ECTV)) that disrupts IFN-gamma signaling and its ability to induce an antiviral state within cells. IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) is an important virulence factor that is highly conserved (>90%) in all orthopoxviruses, including variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox. The 2.2-A crystal structure of the IFN-gammaBP(ECTV)/IFN-gamma complex reveals IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) consists of an IFN-gammaR1 ligand-binding domain and a 57-aa helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif that is structurally related to the transcription factor TFIIA. The HTH motif forms a tetramerization domain that results in an IFN-gammaBP(ECTV)/IFN-gamma complex containing four IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) chains and two IFN-gamma dimers. The structure, combined with biochemical and cell-based assays, demonstrates that IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) tetramers are required for efficient IFN-gamma antagonism.
