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

Interferon-induced proteins, including the largely uncharacterized interferon-induced tetratricopeptide repeat (IFIT) protein family, provide defenses against pathogens. Differing from expectations for tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) proteins and from human IFIT1, IFIT2, and IFIT3, we show that human IFIT5 recognizes cellular RNA instead of protein partners. In vivo and in vitro, IFIT5 bound to endogenous 5'-phosphate-capped RNAs, including transfer RNAs. The crystal structure of IFIT5 revealed a convoluted intramolecular packing of eight TPRs as a fold that we name the TPR eddy. Additional, non-TPR structural elements contribute to an RNA binding cleft. Instead of general cytoplasmic distribution, IFIT5 concentrated in actin-rich protrusions from the apical cell surface colocalized with the RNA-binding retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I). These findings establish compartmentalized cellular RNA binding activity as a mechanism for IFIT5 function and reveal the TPR eddy as a scaffold for RNA recognition.
