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

In this study, we have identified an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) from the highly infectious herpesvirus Marek's disease virus (MDV). The IRES was mapped to the intercistronic region (ICR) of a bicistronic mRNA that we cloned from the MDV-transformed CD4(+) T-cell line MSB-1. The transcript is a member of a family of mRNAs expressed as immediate-early genes with two open reading frames (ORF). The first ORF encodes a 14-kDa polypeptide with two N-terminal splice variants, whereas the second ORF is contained entirely within a single exon and encodes a 12-kDa protein also known as RLORF9. We have shown that the ICR that separates the two ORFs functions as an IRES that controls the translation of RLORF9 when cap-dependent translation is inhibited. Deletion analysis revealed that there are two potential IRES elements within the ICR. Reverse genetic experiments with the oncogenic strain of MDV type 1 indicated that deletion of IRES-controlled RLORF9 does not significantly affect viral replication or MDV-induced mortality.
