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 murine 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase 1a (Oas1a) and Oas1b genes are type 1 IFN responsive genes. Oas1a is an active synthetase with broad antiviral activity mediated through RNase L. Oas1b is inactive but can inhibit Oas1a synthetase activity and mediate a flavivirus-specific antiviral activity through an unknown RNase L-independent mechanism. Analysis of promoter elements regulating gene transcription confirmed that an IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) is required for IFN beta-activation but neither the overlapping IRF binding site present in both promoters nor the adjacent Oas1b NF-kappa B site is required. Mutation of the overlapping STAT site negatively affected IFN beta-induction of Oas1a but not of Oas1b. Also, IFN beta induction of Oas1a was STAT1- and STAT2-dependent, while induction of Oas1b was STAT1-independent but STAT2-dependent. The two promoters differ at a single nucleotide in the STAT site. The data indicate that these two duplicated genes can be differentially regulated by IFN beta.
