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) establishes chronic infection in a large number of infected individuals. We have previously shown that HCV infection in hepatocytes blocks poly (I-C) or interferon (IFN)-α-mediated IRF-7 nuclear translocation (Raychoudhuri and others 2010). However, the mechanism of IRF-7 regulation by HCV remained unknown. In this study, we have observed that HCV NS5A physically associates with IRF-7. A subsequent study suggested that the HCV NS5A protein blocks IRF-7-mediated IFN-α14 promoter activation. Further analyses demonstrated that site-specific mutagenesis of the 2 basic arginine residues (amino acids Arg(216) and Arg(217)) in the NS5A is critical for IRF-7-mediated IFN-α14 promoter regulation. Together, our results suggested that the HCV NS5A protein limits the IFN-α-signaling pathway in association with IRF-7, and may, in part, be responsible for the establishment of chronic infection.
