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

Chronic hepatitis resulting from hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection develops into cirrhosis in at least half of infected patients and increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenic effects of a number of viruses result from the disturbance of intracellular signal cascades caused by viral antigens. Therefore, we investigated the interaction of nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) of HCV with the cyclic AMP-dependent signal pathway. We found a similarity between the HCV sequence Arg-Arg-Gly-Arg-Thr-Gly-Arg-Gly-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ile-Tyr-Arg localized in NS3 and the general consensus sequence of protein kinase A (PKA). Consequently, the catalytic (C) subunit of PKA bound to a bacterially expressed fragment of HCV polyprotein containing amino acid residues 1189 to 1525. When this fragment was introduced into cells, it inhibited the translocation of the C subunit into the nucleus after stimulation with forskolin. The result of this inhibition was significantly reduced histone phosphorylation. Therefore, the presence of NS3 in the cytoplasm of infected cells may affect a wide range of PKA functions and contribute to the pathogenesis of the diseases caused by HCV.
