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

Here we show that laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) virus sensor protein regulates gene expression network of endogenous genes mediated by TAR-RNA binding protein (TRBP)-bound microRNAs (miRNAs). TRBP is an enhancer of RNA silencing, and functions to recruit precursor-miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) to Dicer that processes pre-miRNA into mature miRNA. Viral infection activates the antiviral innate immune response in mammalian cells. Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), including RIG-I, melanoma-differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5), and LGP2, function as cytoplasmic virus sensor proteins during viral infection. RIG-I and MDA5 can distinguish between different types of RNA viruses to produce antiviral cytokines, including type I interferon. However, the role of LGP2 is controversial. We found that LGP2 bound to the double-stranded RNA binding sites of TRBP, resulting in inhibition of pre-miRNA binding and recruitment by TRBP. Furthermore, although it is unclear whether TRBP binds to specific pre-miRNA, we found that TRBP bound to particular pre-miRNAs with common structural characteristics. Thus, LGP2 represses specific miRNA activities by interacting with TRBP, resulting in selective regulation of target genes. Our findings show that a novel function of LGP2 is to modulate RNA silencing, indicating the crosstalk between RNA silencing and RLR signaling in mammalian cells.
