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

Viruses with segmented genomes, including pathogens such as influenza virus, Rotavirus and Bluetongue virus (BTV), face the collective challenge of packaging their genetic material in terms of the correct number and types of segments. Here we develop a novel network approach to predict RNA-RNA interactions between different genomic segments. Experimental data on RNA complex formation in the multi-segmented BTV genome are used to establish proof-of-concept of this technique. In particular, we show that trans interactions between segments occur at multiple specific sites, termed segment assortment signals (SASs) that are dispersed across each segment. In order to validate the putative trans acting networks, we used various biochemical and molecular techniques which confirmed predictions of the RNA network approach. A combination of mutagenesis and reverse genetics systems revealed that the RNA-RNA interacting sites identified are indeed responsible for segment assortment and complex formation, which are essential criteria for genome packaging. This paves the way for their exploitation as novel types of drug target, either to inhibit assembly, or for designing defective interfering particles containing an incomplete set of genomic segments.
