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

Retroviral RNA encapsidation depends on the specific binding of Gag proteins to packaging (psi) signals in genomic RNA. We investigated whether an in vitro-selected, high-affinity RNA ligand for the nucleocapsid (NC) portion of the Gag protein from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) could mediate packaging into HIV-1 virions. We find that this ligand can functionally substitute for one of the Gag-binding elements (termed SL3) in the HIV-1 psi locus to support packaging and viral infectivity in cis. By contrast, this ligand, which fails to dimerize spontaneously in vitro, is unable to replace a different psi element (termed SL1) which is required for both Gag binding and dimerization of the HIV-1 genome. A single point mutation within the ligand that eliminates high-affinity in vitro Gag binding also abolishes its packaging activity at the SL3 position. These results demonstrate that specific binding of Gag or NC protein is a critical determinant of genomic RNA packaging.
