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 terminal redundancy (TR) sequence of the 3.5-kb hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA contains sites that govern many crucial functions in the viral life cycle, including polyadenylation, translation, RNA packaging, and DNA synthesis. In the present study, RNA-binding motif protein 24 (RBM24) is shown to be involved in the modulation of HBV replication by targeting the TR of HBV RNA. In HBV-transfected hepatoma cell lines, both knockdown and overexpression of RBM24 led to decreased HBV replication and transcription. Ectopic expression of RBM24 inhibited HBV replication, which was partly restored by knockdown of RBM24, indicating that a proper level of RBM24 was required for HBV replication. The regulation of RBM24 of HBV replication and translation was achieved by the interaction between the RNA-binding domains of RBM24 and both the 5' and 3' TR of 3.5-kb RNA. RBM24 interacted with the 5' TR of HBV pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) to block 80S ribosome assembly on HBV pgRNA and thus inhibited core protein translation, whereas the interaction between RBM24 and the 3' TR enhanced the stability of HBV RNA. Finally, the regulatory function of RBM24 on HBV replication was further confirmed in a HBV infection model. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates the dual functions of RBM24 by interacting with different TRs of viral RNA and reveals that RBM24 is an important host gene for HBV replication.
