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

Reovirus capsid protein delta 3 binds both double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and zinc. Previous studies have revealed that the amino-terminal zinc finger is not required for the ability of delta 3 to bind dsRNA. We expressed wild-type and mutant delta 3 molecules by in vitro transcription/translation to evaluate the importance of the zinc finger for other functions of delta 3. delta 3 molecules with mutations in the zinc finger did not form complexes with capsid protein mu 1 but bound dsRNA more efficiently than wild-type delta 3 did. In contrast, a dsRNA-binding mutant was unimpaired in its ability to associate with mu 1. Studies with delta 3 fragments support these findings and indicate that sequences critical for delta 3's interaction with mu 1 lie in the amino terminus of the molecule. Our finding that mu 1 and dsRNA do not compete for identical binding sites on delta 3 has implications for its function as a translational regulator in infected cells.
