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

Satellite viruses are present across all domains of life, defined as subviral parasites that require infection by another virus for satellite progeny production. Phage satellites exhibit various regulatory mechanisms to manipulate phage gene expression to the benefit of the satellite, redirecting resources from the phage to the satellite, and often inhibiting phage progeny production. While small RNAs (sRNAs) are well documented as regulators of prokaryotic gene expression, they have not been shown to play a regulatory role in satellite-phage conflicts. Vibrio cholerae encodes the phage inducible chromosomal island-like element (PLE), a phage satellite, to defend itself against the lytic phage ICP1. Here, we use Hi-GRIL-seq to identify a complex RNA-RNA interactome between PLE and ICP1. Both inter- and intragenome RNA interactions were detected, headlined by the PLE sRNA, SviR. SviR is involved in regulating both PLE and ICP1 gene expression uniquely, decreasing ICP1 target translation and affecting PLE transcripts. The striking conservation of SviR across all known PLEs suggests the sRNA is deeply rooted in the PLE-ICP1 conflict and implicates sRNAs as unidentified regulators of gene expression in phage-satellite interactions.
