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 RNA genome of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) establishes a network of long-distance RNA-RNA interactions that direct the progression of the infective cycle. This work shows that the dimerization of the viral genome, which is initiated at the dimer linkage sequence (DLS) within the 3'UTR, is promoted by the CRE region, while the IRES is a negative regulatory partner. Using differential 2'-acylation probing (SHAPE-dif) and molecular interference (HMX) technologies, the CRE activity was found to mainly lie in the critical 5BSL3.2 domain, while the IRES-mediated effect is dependent upon conserved residues within the essential structural elements JIIIabc, JIIIef and PK2. These findings support the idea that, along with the DLS motif, the IRES and CRE are needed to control HCV genome dimerization. They also provide evidences of a novel function for these elements as chaperone-like partners that fine-tune the architecture of distant RNA domains within the HCV genome.
