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

Protein kinase R (PKR) is a key antiviral protein involved in sensing and restricting viral infections. Here we analyzed the ability of Marburg virus (MARV) viral protein 35 (VP35) to inhibit PKR activation in human and bat cells. Similar to the related Ebola and Lloviu viruses, MARV VP35 was able to inhibit PKR activation in 293T cells. In contrast, we found that MARV VP35 did not inhibit human or bat PKR activation in human glioblastoma U-251-MG cells or a Rousettus aegyptiacus cell line. Additional experiments revealed that PACT, a known PKR regulator, was insufficient to rescue the ability of VP35 to inhibit PKR activation in these cells. Taken together, this study indicates that the ability of VP35 to inhibit PKR is cell type specific, potentially explaining discrepancies between the ability of filoviruses to potently block innate immune responses, and the high levels of interferon and interferon-stimulated genes observed in filovirus patients.
