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

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NS4B protein has many roles in HCV genome replication. Recently, our laboratory (Q. Han, J. Aligo, D. Manna, K. Belton, S. V. Chintapalli, Y. Hong, R. L. Patterson, D. B. van Rossum, and K. V. Konan, J. Virol. 85:6464-6479, 2011) and others (D. M. Jones, A. H. Patel, P. Targett-Adams, and J. McLauchlan, J. Virol. 83:2163-2177, 2009; D. Paul, I. Romero-Brey, J. Gouttenoire, S. Stoitsova, J. Krijnse-Locker, D. Moradpour, and R. Bartenschlager, J. Virol. 85:6963-6976, 2011) have also reported NS4B's function in postreplication steps. Indeed, replacement of the NS4B C-terminal domain (CTD) in the HCV JFH1 (genotype 2a [G2a]) genome with sequences from Con1 (G1b) or H77 (G1a) had a negligible impact on JFH1 genome replication but attenuated virus production. Since NS4B interacts weakly with the HCV genome, we postulated that NS4B regulates the function of host or virus proteins directly involved in HCV production. In this study, we demonstrate that the integrity of the JFH1 NS4B CTD is crucial for efficient JFH1 genome encapsidation. Further, two adaptive mutations (NS4B N216S and NS5A C465S) were identified, and introduction of these mutations into the chimera rescued virus production to various levels, suggesting a genetic interaction between the NS4B and NS5A proteins. Interestingly, cells infected with chimeric viruses displayed a markedly decreased NS5A hyperphosphorylation state (NS5A p58) relative to JFH1, and the adaptive mutations differentially rescued NS5A p58 formation. However, immunofluorescence staining indicated that the decrease in NS5A p58 did not alter NS5A colocalization with the core around lipid droplets (LDs), the site of JFH1 assembly, suggesting that NS5A fails to facilitate the transfer of HCV RNA to the capsid protein on LDs. Alternatively, NS4B's function in HCV genome encapsidation may entail more than its regulation of the NS5A phosphorylation state.
