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

During replication, hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS4B protein rearranges intracellular membranes to form foci, or the web, the putative site for HCV replication. To understand the role of the C-terminal domain (CTD) in NS4B function, mutations were introduced into NS4B alone or in the context of HCV polyprotein. First, we show that the CTD is required for NS4B-induced web structure, but it is not sufficient to form the web nor is it required for NS4B membrane association. Interestingly, all the mutations introduced into the CTD impeded HCV genome replication, but only two resulted in a disruption of NS4B foci. Further, we found that NS4B interacts with NS3 and NS5A, and that mutations causing NS4B mislocalization have a similar effect on these proteins. Finally, we show that the redistribution of Rab5 to NS4B foci requires an intact CTD, suggesting that Rab5 facilitates NS4B foci formation through interaction with the CTD.
