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

Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) reverse transcription is initiated from cellular tRNA(Lys3) partially annealed to the RNA viral genome at the primer binding site (PBS). This annealing involves interactions between two highly structured RNA molecules. In contrast to HIV-1, in which the reverse transcription initiation complex has been thoroughly studied, there is still little information regarding a possible model to describe the secondary structure of the template-primer complex in HIV-2. To determine whether HIV-2 RNA sequences flanking the PBS may specifically interact with the natural primer tRNA, we performed site-directed mutagenesis and enzymatic footprinting. An RNA fragment corresponding to the HIV-2 U5 RNA domain and tRNA(Lys3) were probed either in their free form or in the binary complex. Important reactivity changes to nucleases were obtained upon complex formation. In addition to the canonical contacts between the viral PBS and the 3' end acceptor stem of tRNA(Lys3), we identified two additional interacting domains: (i) the U-rich region of the anticodon loop with the A-rich sequence of the internal loop within the U5-prePBS region; (ii) nucleotides 48-54 from the TPsiC domain of tRNA(Lys3) and the 240-247 region of viral U5-RNA. In view of these experimental data and sequence comparison between different HIV-2 isolates, we propose a model for the secondary structure of the HIV-2 template-primer initiation complex.
