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

In this work, we found that rotavirus infection induces an early membrane permeabilization of MA104 cells and promotes the coentry of toxins, such as alpha-sarcin, into the cell. This cell permeability was shown to depend on infectious virus and was also shown to be virus dose dependent, with 10 infectious particles per cell being sufficient to achieve maximum permeability; transient, lasting no more than 15 min after virus entry and probably occurring concomitantly with virus penetration; and specific, since cells that are poorly permissive for rotavirus were not permeabilized. The rotavirus-mediated coentry of toxins was not blocked by the endocytosis inhibitors dansylcadaverine and cytochalasin D or by the vacuolar proton-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1, suggesting that neither endocytocis nor an intraendosomal acidic pH or a proton gradient is required for permeabilization of the cells. Compounds that raise the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca2+]i) by different mechanisms, such as the calcium ionophores A23187 and ionomycin and the endoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin, did not block the coentry of alpha-sarcin or affect the onset of viral protein synthesis, suggesting that a low [Ca2+]i is not essential for the initial steps of the virus life cycle. Since the entry of alpha-sarcin correlates with virus penetration in all parameters tested, the assay for permeabilization to toxins might be a useful tool for studying and characterizing the route of entry and the mechanism used by rotaviruses to traverse the cell membrane and initiate a productive replication cycle.
