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

The RIII/Sa mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is one of several exogenous MMTV viruses transmitted to suckling mice through the milk. We report herein the nucleotide sequence of the exogenous RIII/Sa provirus from the central Eco RI site through to the end of the U5 region encoded by the 3' LTR. We also provide a detailed sequence analysis often different 3' terminal exogenous MMTV proviral integration sites within mammary tumor DNA obtained by the technique of genome walking. Using a combination of Southern blotting with 3' end probes and PCR utilizing a unique RIII/Sa specific 3' primer, we confirm that the RIII/Sa provirus integrates multiple times in mouse mammary tumors but that little or no integration occurs in various normal tissues. Southern blotting analyses with 3' end probes also indicate that RIII/Sa mice contain two additional endogenous MMTV loci, mtv-6 and mtv- 17, not previously reported. The combined genetic analyses reported herein distinguish between exogenous proviral integrants and endogenous germline MMTV.
