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

ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4)-mediated RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) defends against DNA viruses by methylating their genomes. However, there is limited information available regarding RNA viruses. Here, we show that OsAGO4 has antiviral immunity against two different types of RNA viruses, rice stripe virus (RSV, Tenuivirus) and Southern rice black streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV, Fijivirus). To facilitate infection, the evolutionarily distinct viral effectors RSV P2 and SRBSDV SP8 both targeted OsAGO4 for degradation. These unrelated viral proteins both recruited the F-box protein OsFBX68 to promote their association with OsAGO4, resulting in enhanced OsAGO4 degradation. In summary, our findings elucidated OsAGO4-mediated antiviral defense and reveal new mechanisms by which diverse RNA viral effectors exploit OsAGO4 to promote infection using a common counter-defense strategy.
