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 influenza A virus (IAV) polymerase is a multifunctional machine that can adopt alternative configurations to perform transcription and replication of the viral RNA genome in a temporally ordered manner. Although the structure of polymerase is well understood, our knowledge of its regulation by phosphorylation is still incomplete. The heterotrimeric polymerase can be regulated by posttranslational modifications, but the endogenously occurring phosphorylations at the PA and PB2 subunits of the IAV polymerase have not been studied. Mutation of phosphosites in PB2 and PA subunits revealed that PA mutants resembling constitutive phosphorylation have a partial (S395) or complete (Y393) defect in the ability to synthesize mRNA and cRNA. As PA phosphorylation at Y393 prevents binding of the 5' promoter of the genomic RNA, recombinant viruses harboring such a mutation could not be rescued. These data show the functional relevance of PA phosphorylations to control the activity of viral polymerase during the influenza infectious cycle.
