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

We attempted to generate siRNAs with two active strands, which can simultaneously knock down the expression of mRNA and viral genomic RNA. In this study, short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against N and F genes were used. Expression of F and N mRNA transcripts as well as genomic RNA was determined with relative real-time RT-PCR. The RSV load in infected cell culture supernatant was determined by absolute quantitative real-time PCR. We found that (i) in the presence of shRNA-N, a greater reduction in viral genomic RNA was found; (ii) the level of expression at MOI 0.01 was reduced more than MOI 0.1; (iii) reduction in N transcript was greater than F; and (iv) finally, in combination pre-treatment with two shRNAs, the reduction was not significant as compared to single shRNA transfection. shRNAs also inhibited the production of RSV progeny as shown by viral load in infected HEp-2 cells. (i) Virus load reduction was greater at MOI 0.01 than 0.1 and (ii) significant load reduction was not seen with combination shRNA pre-treatment. The antiviral potency was also confirmed by plaque assay and western blot analysis. Our results provided further evidence that RNAi could be a powerful treatment option against respiratory viruses.
