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

RNA editing plays a central role in the life cycle of hepatitis D virus (HDV), a subviral human pathogen. Previous studies (J.L. Casey, K.F. Bergmann, T.L. Brown, and J.L. Gerin, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 89:7149-7153, 1992; H. Zheng, T.-B. Fu, D. Lazinski, and J. Taylor, J. Virol. 66:4693-4697, 1992) had concluded that the genomic RNA of HDV was the target for RNA editing and that the editing reaction was a conversion of U to C. However, we show here that the antigenomic RNA of HDV is in fact the target for HDV RNA editing, which is therefore a conversion of A to G. This result is verified by using an assay specific for editing on the antigenomic RNA and by analyzing the editing of site-directed mutant RNAs in transfected cells and in cell extracts. Because editing occurs in the absence of viral antigens and the specificity for the HDV editing target site is present even in extracts from Drosophila cells, it is likely that HDV RNA is edited by one or more cellular factors that are conserved among higher eukaryotes. These results raise the likelihood that double-stranded RNA adenosine deaminase specifically edits HDV antigenomic RNA.
