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 polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) functions primarily as an IRES trans-acting factor in the propagation of hepatitis C virus and picornaviruses. PTB interacts with secondary structures within the 3'- and 5'-untranslated regions of these viral genomes to mediate efficient IRES-mediated viral translation. PTB has also been reported to bind to the untranslated region of the single-stranded RNA dengue virus (DENV), suggesting a similar function for PTB in flaviviruses. Indeed small interfering RNA-mediated PTB knockdown inhibited the production of infectious DENV, and this inhibition was specific to PTB knockdown and not due to a nonspecific anti-viral state. In fact, PTB depletion did not inhibit the production infectious yellow fever virus, another flavivirus. Nevertheless, whereas PTB knockdown led to a significant decrease in the accumulation of DENV viral RNAs, it did not impair translation. Moreover, PTB was shown to interact with the DENV nonstructural 4A protein, a known component of the viral replication complex, and with the DENV genome during infection. These data suggest that PTB interacts with the replication complex of DENV and is acting at the level of viral RNA replication.
