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

Mumps virus, like other paramyxoviruses in the Rubulavirus genus, encodes a V protein that can assemble a ubiquitin ligase complex from cellular components, leading to the destruction of cellular signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. While many V proteins target the interferon-activated STAT1 or STAT2 protein, mumps virus V protein is unique in its ability to also target STAT3 for ubiquitin modification and proteasome-mediated degradation. Here we report that a single amino acid substitution in the mumps virus V protein, E95D, results in defective STAT3 targeting while maintaining the ability to target STAT1. Results indicate that the E95D mutation disrupts the ability of the V protein to associate with STAT3. A recombinant mumps virus carrying the E95D mutation in its P and V proteins replicates normally in cultured cells but fails to induce targeting of STAT3. Infection with the recombinant virus results in the differential regulation of a number of cellular genes compared to wild-type mumps virus and increases cell death in infected cells, producing a large-plaque phenotype.
