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

Mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus) nonstructural protein μNS nucleates viral factories (VFs), which are sites of viral genome replication, protein synthesis, and particle assembly. Reovirus mRNAs are not polyadenylated, yet these transcripts are efficiently translated. To identify host factors associated with translation in VFs, we conducted a proteomics screen and identified ataxin-2-like (ATXN2L) as a μNS-interacting protein. CRISPR-mediated gene knockout (KO) of ATXN2L impairs reovirus replication. The ATXN2L RNA-binding domains are required for reovirus replication and association with the 3' terminus of nonpolyadenylated reovirus mRNAs. Synthesis of viral proteins is diminished in ATXN2L-KO cells following reovirus infection. Translation of a reovirus reporter construct is diminished following transfection of ATXN2L-KO cells with nonpolyadenylated mRNA but not with polyadenylated mRNA. These data identify ATXN2L as an essential mediator of translation of nonpolyadenylated reovirus mRNA.
