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

The primary antiviral immunity in insects is mediated by the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. To counteract this antiviral RNAi response, viruses employ virulence factors known as viral suppressors of RNAi (VSR). The question of whether host factors can activate a counter-counter-defense mechanism to cope with VSR-mediated RNA silencing suppression remains unanswered. In this study, cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) was identified to interact with B2, a VSR of Flock House virus (FHV), and the critical amino acids responsible for dsRNA binding and dimerization in B2 were essential for this interaction. Silencing of CDK12 facilitated FHV RNA accumulation only in the context of B2, not for FHVΔB2. Notably, CDK12 abrogated the RNAi suppression exerted by B2. Furthermore, the knockdown of CDK12 inhibited the production of vsiRNAs in FHV-infected
