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

Cauliflower mosaic virus gene VI product (P6) is an essential protein that forms cytoplasmic, inclusion bodies (IBs). P6 contains four regions involved in self-association, termed D1-D4. D3 binds to D1, along with D4 and contains a spacer region (termed D3b) between two RNA-binding domains. Here we show D3b binds full-length P6 along with D1 and D4. Full-length P6s harboring single amino acid substitutions within D3b showed reduced binding to both D1 and D4. Full-length P6s containing D3b mutations and fused with green fluorescent protein formed inclusion-like bodies (IL-Bs) when expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. However, mutant P6s with reduced binding to D1 and D4, showed smaller IL-Bs, than wild type. Likewise, viruses containing these mutations showed a decrease in inoculated leaf viral DNA levels and reduced efficiency of systemic infection. These data suggest that mutations influencing P6 self-association alter IB formation and reduce virus infection.
