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

Subgenomic flavivirus RNAs (sfRNAs) are structured RNAs encoded by flaviviruses that promote viral infection by inhibiting cellular RNA decay machinery. Herein, we analyze sfRNA production and localization using single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (smRNA-FISH) throughout West Nile virus, Zika virus, or dengue virus serotype 2 infection. We observe that sfRNAs are generated during the RNA replication phase of viral infection in the cytosol and accumulate in processing bodies (P-bodies), which contain RNA decay machinery such as XRN1 and Dcp1b. However, upon activation of the host antiviral endoribonuclease, ribonuclease L (RNase L), sfRNAs re-localize to ribonucleoprotein complexes known as RNase L-induced bodies (RLBs). RLB-mediated sequestration of sfRNAs reduces sfRNA association with RNA decay machinery in P-bodies, which coincides with increased viral RNA decay. These findings establish a functional role for RLBs in enhancing the cell-mediated decay of viral RNA by sequestering functional viral RNA decay products.
