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

Although classic swine fever virus (CSFV) infection has been reported to induce autophagy, the specific induced mechanism remains unrevealed. Nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of CSFV is a multiphosphorylated protein with multiple functions to regulate viral replication and the host cell immune responses. Herein, we demonstrated that CSFV NS5A could induce cellular autophagy and promote viral replication. In the current study, we showed that NS5A expression significantly increased the levels of autophagy-related genes (ATGs), including light chain 3 (LC3), ATG5, and Beclin 1; conversely, degradation of P62/sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) was observed by Western blotting. The number of autophagy-like vesicles was also obviously increased in NS5A-expressing cells, as analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, we observed the co-localization of the NS5A and LC3 proteins by confocal immunofluorescence analysis. Direct binding of NS5A to the autophagy-related LC3 protein was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation
