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

BMS-790052, targeting nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), is the most potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) inhibitor described to date. It is highly effective against genotype 1 replicons and also displays robust genotype 1 anti-HCV activity in the clinic (M. Gao et al., Nature 465:96-100, 2010). BMS-790052 inhibits genotype 2a JFH1 replicon cells and cell culture infectious virus with 50% effective concentrations (EC(50)s) of 46.8 and 16.1 pM, respectively. Resistance selection studies with the JFH1 replicon and virus systems identified drug-induced mutations within the N-terminal region of NS5A. F28S, L31M, C92R, and Y93H were the major resistance mutations identified; the impact of these mutations on inhibitor sensitivity between the replicon and virus was very similar. The C92R and Y93H mutations negatively impacted fitness of the JFH1 virus. Second-site replacements at NS5A residue 30 (K30E/Q) restored efficient replication of the C92R viral variant, thus demonstrating a genetic interaction between NS5A residues 30 and 92. By using a trans-complementation assay with JFH1 replicons encoding inhibitor-sensitive and inhibitor-resistant NS5A proteins, we provide genetic evidence that NS5A performs the following two distinct functions in HCV RNA replication: a cis-acting function that likely occurs as part of the HCV replication complex and a trans-acting function that may occur outside the replication complex. The cis-acting function is likely performed by basally phosphorylated NS5A, while the trans-acting function likely requires hyperphosphorylation. Our data indicate that BMS-790052 blocks the cis-acting function of NS5A. Since BMS-790052 also impairs JFH1 NS5A hyperphosphorylation, it likely also blocks the trans-acting function.
