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

Experiments were performed to determine the function of a 28-nucleotide untranslated sequence lying between the envelope gene and the polypurine tract (PPT) sequence in the Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV) genome. A mutant virus carrying a deletion of this sequence (Mo-MuLVDelta28) replicated more slowly than wild-type (wt) virus and reverted by recombination with endogenous sequences during growth in NIH 3T3 cells. We show that this deletion did not affect the level of viral protein expression or genomic RNA packaging. Mo-MuLVDelta28 served as a helper virus as efficiently as the wt virus; in contrast, a retroviral vector harboring this mutation exhibited reduced transduction efficiency, indicating that the mutation acts not in trans but in cis. Analysis of acutely infected cells revealed that reduced levels of viral DNA were generated by reverse transcription of the Mo-MuLVDelta28 RNA as compared to the wt RNA. Analysis of DNA circle junctions revealed that plus-strand DNA of Mo-MuLVDelta28 but not wt virus often retained the PPT and additional upstream sequences. These structures suggest that aberrant 5' ends of plus-strand DNA were generated by a failure to remove the PPT RNA primer and/or by mispriming at sites upstream of the PPT. These data demonstrate that the major role of the sequences immediately upstream of the PPT is specifying efficient and accurate plus-strand DNA synthesis.
