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 hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA genome contains multiple structurally conserved domains that make long-distance RNA-RNA contacts important in the establishment of viral infection. Microarray antisense oligonucleotide assays, improved dimethyl sulfate probing methods and 2' acylation chemistry (selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation and primer extension, SHAPE) showed the folding of the genomic RNA 3' end to be regulated by the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element via direct RNA-RNA interactions. The essential cis-acting replicating element (CRE) and the 3'X-tail region adopted different 3D conformations in the presence and absence of the genomic RNA 5' terminus. Further, the structural transition in the 3'X-tail from the replication-competent conformer (consisting of three stem-loops) to the dimerizable form (with two stem-loops), was found to depend on the presence of both the IRES and the CRE elements. Complex interplay between the IRES, the CRE and the 3'X-tail region would therefore appear to occur. The preservation of this RNA-RNA interacting network, and the maintenance of the proper balance between different contacts, may play a crucial role in the switch between different steps of the HCV cycle.
