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 routinely employ strategies to prevent the activation of innate immune signaling in infected cells. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is no exception, as it encodes two accessory proteins (NS1 and NS2) which are well established to block interferon signaling. However, RSV-encoded mechanisms for inhibiting NF-κB signaling are less well characterized. In this study, we identified RSV-mediated antagonism of this pathway, independent of the NS1 and NS2 proteins and indeed distinct from other known viral mechanisms of NF-κB inhibition. In both human and bovine RSV-infected cells, we demonstrated that the p65 subunit of NF-κB is rerouted to perinuclear puncta in the cytoplasm, which are synonymous with viral inclusion bodies (IBs), the site for viral RNA replication. Captured p65 was unable to translocate to the nucleus or transactivate a NF-κB reporter following tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) stimulation, confirming the immune-antagonistic nature of this sequestration. Subsequently, we used correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM) to colocalize the RSV N protein and p65 within bovine RSV (bRSV) IBs, which are granular, membraneless regions of cytoplasm with liquid organelle-like properties. Additional characterization of bRSV IBs indicated that although they are likely formed by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), they have a differential sensitivity to hypotonic shock proportional to their size. Together, these data identify a novel mechanism for viral antagonism of innate immune signaling which relies on sequestration of the NF-κB subunit p65 to a biomolecular condensate-a mechanism conserved across the
