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

Expression of the putative replicase of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) is regulated by -1 ribosomal frameshifting in which a primary viral transcript has two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). A region of 39 nt at the junction of the two ORFs is essential for frameshifting to occur. It has been shown to harbor two signals, one active on the level of the primary structure, termed the slippery sequence, and one component that forms a secondary or tertiary level structure, described as either a pseudoknot or a stem-loop motif. We have performed extensive site-directed mutagenesis of the frameshifting region and analyzed individual mutants for their ability to promote -1 frameshifting in vitro. Detailed comparison of our results with analogous mutants in the frameshifting region of the evolutionarily related beet western yellow virus, for which a crystal structure is available, unequivocally argues for the pseudoknot to be the structural motif necessary for the frameshifting function in PLRV transcripts. Mutations in PLRV that affect putative pseudoknot-specific tertiary-base interactions drastically affect frameshifting activity. In addition, a specific deletion mutant was identified that displayed PLRV wild-type frameshifting activity with only 22 nt available for pseudoknot formation.
