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

Human innate cellular defence pathways have evolved to sense and eliminate pathogens, of which, viruses are considered one of the most dangerous. Their relatively simple structure makes the identification of viral invasion a difficult task for cells. In the course of evolution, viral nucleic acids have become one of the strongest and most reliable early identifiers of infection. When considering RNA virus recognition, RNA sensing is the central mechanism in human innate immunity, and effectiveness of this sensing is crucial for triggering an appropriate antiviral response. Although human cells are armed with a variety of highly specialized receptors designed to respond only to pathogenic viral RNA, RNA viruses have developed an array of mechanisms to avoid being recognized by human interferon-mediated cellular defence systems. The repertoire of viral evasion strategies is extremely wide, ranging from masking pathogenic RNA through end modification, to utilizing sophisticated techniques to deceive host cellular RNA degrading enzymes, and hijacking the most basic metabolic pathways in host cells. In this review, we aim to dissect human RNA sensing mechanisms crucial for antiviral immune defences, as well as the strategies adopted by RNA viruses to avoid detection and degradation by host cells. We believe that understanding the fate of viral RNA upon infection, and detailing the molecular mechanisms behind virus-host interactions, may be helpful for developing more effective antiviral strategies; which are urgently needed to prevent the far-reaching consequences of widespread, highly pathogenic viral infections.
