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

Previously, we observed that sequences at the 3' end of rubella virus (RV) genomic RNA that form a stable stem-loop structure are necessary for initiation of RNA replication. A cytosolic protein found in Vero 76 cells (simian origin) specifically bound to the 3' (+)-stem-loop sequence. In the present study, we have purified the RNA binding protein and identified it as a simian homologue of human calreticulin. The purified calreticulin binds to the RV RNA with specificity similar to the protein present in cytosolic extracts. Human calreticulin antibodies recognize several forms of simian calreticulin, one of which is phosphorylated in vivo. A 2-fold increase in phosphorylation of this form of calreticulin is observed in RV-infected cells. Recombinant human calreticulin can bind RV 3' (+)-stem-loop RNA only after undergoing in vitro phosphorylation. This binding activity is abrogated by pretreatment of phosphorylated recombinant human calreticulin with alkaline phosphatase. The RV RNA was also immunoprecipitated from RV-infected UV-crosslinked Vero 76 cells by using calreticulin antibodies. Our results show that phosphorylated calreticulin is an RNA binding protein and phosphorylation is necessary for this activity. Specific binding of calreticulin to the cis-acting element of RV RNA in vivo suggests a possible role for this interaction in viral replication.
