Binding of cellular nucleolin with the viral core RNA G-quadruplex structure suppresses HCV replication.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers.
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.
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
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of human chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. G-quadruplex (G4) is an important four-stranded secondary structure of nucleic acids. Recently, we discovered that the core gene of HCV contains a G4 RNA structure; however, the interaction between the HCV core RNA G4 and host cellular proteins, and the roles of the HCV core RNA G4 in HCV infection and pathogenesis remain elusive. Here, we identified a cellular protein, nucleolin (NCL), which bound and stabilized the HCV core RNA G4 structure. We demonstrated the direct interaction and colocalization between NCL and wild-type core RNA G4 at both in vitro and in cell physiological conditions of the alive virus; however no significant interaction was found between NCL and G4-modified core RNA. NCL is also associated with HCV particles. HCV infection induced NCL mRNA and protein expression, while NCL suppressed wild-type viral replication and expression, but not G4-modified virus. Silencing of NCL greatly enhanced viral RNA replication. Our findings provide new insights that NCL may act as a host factor for anti-viral innate immunity, and binding of cellular NCL with the viral core RNA G4 structure is involved in suppressing HCV replication.
