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 HBV core protein self-assembles into particles and encapsidates immune-stimulatory bacterial RNA through a cationic COOH-terminal (C150-183) domain. To investigate if different cationic domains have an impact on the endogenous RNA-binding of HBV-C antigens in mammalian cells, we developed a strep-tag (st) based expression/purification system for HBV-C/RNA antigens in vector-transfected HEK-293 cells. We showed that HBV-stC but not HBV-stC149 particles (lacking the cationic domain) capture low amounts of mammalian RNA. Prevention of specific phosphorylation in cationic domains, either by exchanging the serine residues S155, S162 and S170 with alanines (HBV-stCAAA) or by exchanging the entire cationic domain with a HIV-tat
