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

Flaviviruses are usually transmitted to humans via mosquito or tick bites. During infection, virus replication and assembly, whose cellular sites are relatively close, are controlled by virus proteins and a diverse range of host proteins. By siRNA-mediated gene silencing, we showed that ALIX and CHMP4A, two members of the host endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) protein machinery, are required during flavivirus infection. Using cell lines expressing subgenomic replicons and replicon virus-like particles, we demonstrated specific roles for ALIX and CHMP4A in viral replication and assembly, respectively. Employing biochemical and imaging methodology, we showed that the ESCRT proteins are recruited by a putative specific late (L) domain motif LYXLA within the NS3 protein of tick-borne flaviviruses. Furthermore, to counteract the recruitment of ESCRT proteins, the host cells may elicit defense mechanisms. We found that ectopic expression of the interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) or the E3 ISG15-protein ligase (HERC5) reduced virus replication by suppressing the positive effects of ALIX and CHMP4A. Collectively, these results have provided new insights into flavivirus-host cell interactions that function as checkpoints, including the NS3 and the ESCRT proteins, the ISG15 and the ESCRT proteins, at essential stages of the virus life cycle.
