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

All known gammaherpesviruses encode at least one conserved tegument protein that contains sequence homology to the cellular purine biosynthesis enzyme: phosphoribosylformylglycineamide amidotransferase (FGARAT, or PFAS). While no enzymatic activity have been found on these viral FGARAT-homology proteins (vFGARAT), they are important for disarming host intrinsic antiviral machinery. Most vFGARAT proteins disrupt the intrinsic antiviral response-associated cellular subnuclear structure: ProMyelocytic Leukemia (PML) associated nuclear body (PML-NB). vFGARATs from different viruses target different components of PML-NB to prevent cellular repression of viral infection. In addition, vFGARATs of rhadinoviruses were recently found to oligomerize with the cellular FGARAT to deamidate RIG-I and repress inflammatory cytokine production. In this review we discuss the diverse mechanisms of antiviral response disruption by gammaherpesvirus vFGARATs and the significance of the enzyme homology domain.
