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

One of the first defenses against infecting pathogens is the innate immune system activated by cellular recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Although virus-derived RNA species, especially copyback (cb)-type defective interfering (DI) genomes, have been shown to serve as real PAMPs, which strongly induce interferon-beta (IFN-β) during mononegavirus infection, the mechanisms underlying DI generation remain unclear. Here, for the first time, we identified a single amino acid substitution causing production of cbDI genomes by successful isolation of two distinct types of viral clones with cbDI-producing and cbDI-nonproducing phenotypes from the stock Sendai virus (SeV) strain Cantell, which has been widely used in a number of studies on antiviral innate immunity as a representative IFN-β-inducing virus. IFN-β induction was totally dependent on the presence of a significant amount of cbDI genome-containing viral particles (DI particles) in the viral stock, but not on deficiency of the IFN-antagonistic viral accessory proteins C and V. Comparison of the isolates indicated that a single amino acid substitution found within the N protein of the cbDI-producing clone was enough to cause the emergence of DI genomes. The mutated N protein of the cbDI-producing clone resulted in a lower density of nucleocapsids than that of the DI-nonproducing clone, probably causing both production of the DI genomes and their formation of a stem-loop structure, which serves as an ideal ligand for RIG-I. These results suggested that the integrity of mononegaviral nucleocapsids might be a critical factor in avoiding the undesirable recognition of infection by host cells.
