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

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-13 (PARP13/ZAP/ZC3HAV1) is an antiviral factor, active against specific RNA viruses such as murine leukaemia virus, Sindbis virus and human immunodeficiency virus. During infection, PARP13 binds viral RNA via its four CCCH-type zinc-finger domains and targets it for degradation by recruiting cellular messenger RNA (mRNA) decay factors such as the exosome complex and XRN1. Here we show that PARP13 binds to and regulates cellular mRNAs in the absence of viral infection. Knockdown of PARP13 results in the misregulation of hundreds of transcripts. Among the most upregulated transcripts is TRAILR4 that encodes a decoy receptor for TRAIL-a pro-apoptotic cytokine that is a promising target for the therapeutic inhibition of cancers. PARP13 destabilizes TRAILR4 mRNA post-transcriptionally in an exosome-dependent manner by binding to a region in its 3' untranslated region. As a consequence, PARP13 represses TRAILR4 expression and increases cell sensitivity to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, acting as a key regulator of the cellular response to TRAIL.
