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

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a positive-sense RNA virus, hijacks cell host proteins for its own replication. Rab18, a small Rab GTPase, regulates intracellular membrane-trafficking events between various compartments in cells and is involved in the life cycle of multiple viruses. However, the effect of Rab18 on the production of CSFV remains uncertain. In this study, we showed that knockdown of Rab18 by lentiviruses inhibited CSFV production, while overexpression of Rab18 by lentiviruses enhanced CSFV production. Subsequent experiments revealed that the negative-mutant Rab18-S22 N inhibited CSFV infection, while the positive-mutant Rab18-Q67 L enhanced CSFV infection. Furthermore, we showed that CSFV RNA replication and virion assembly, measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and confocal microscopy, were reduced in cells lacking Rab18 expression. In addition, co-immunoprecipitation, GST-pulldown, and confocal microscopy assays revealed that Rab18 bound to the viral protein NS5A. Further, NS5A was shown to be redistributed in Rab18 knockdown cells. Taken together, these findings demonstrate Rab18 as a novel host factor required for CSFV RNA replication and particle assembly by interaction with the viral protein NS5A.
