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 large nonstructural protein NS1 of the minute virus of mice and other parvoviruses is involved in essential steps of the viral life cycle, such as DNA replication and transcriptional regulation, and is a major contributor to the toxic effect on host cells. Various biochemical functions, such as ATP binding, ATPase, site-specific DNA binding and nicking, and helicase activities, have been assigned to NS1. Homo-oligomerization is a prerequisite for a number of proteins to be fully functional. In particular, helicases generally act as homo-oligomers. Indirect evidence of NS1 self-association has been recently obtained by a nuclear cotransport assay (J. P. Nüesch and P. Tattersall, Virology 196:637-651, 1993). In order to demonstrate the oligomerizing property of NS1 in a direct way and localize the protein region(s) involved, the yeast two-hybrid system was used in combination with deletion mutagenesis across the whole NS1 molecule, followed by high-resolution mapping of the homo-oligomerization domain by a peptide enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. This study led to the identification of a distinct NS1 peptide that contains a bipartite domain involved in NS1 oligomerization. Furthermore, this isolated peptide was found to act as a specific competitive inhibitor and suppress NS1 helicase activity in vitro and parvovirus DNA replication in vivo, arguing for the involvement of NS1 oligomerization in these processes. Our results point to drug targeting of oligomerization motifs of viral regulatory proteins as a potentially useful antiviral strategy.
