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 Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein (eVP40) orchestrates assembly and budding of virions in part by hijacking select WW-domain-bearing host proteins via its PPxY late (L)-domain motif. Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections.
