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 conversion of the single-stranded RNA genome into double-stranded DNA by virus-coded reverse transcriptase (RT) is an essential step of the retrovirus life cycle. In human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), RT uses the cellular tRNA(Lys)3 to initiate the (-) strand DNA synthesis. Placement of the primer tRNA(Lys)3 involves binding of its 3'-terminal 18 nt to a complementary region of genomic RNA termed PBS. However, the PBS sequence is not the unique determinant of primer usage and additional contacts are important. This placement is believed to be achieved in vivo by the nucleocapsid domain of Gag or by the mature protein NCp. Up to now, structural information essentially arose from heat-annealed primer-template complexes (Isel et al., J Mol Biol, 1995, 247:236-250; Isel et al., EMBO J, 1999, 18:1038-1048). Here, we investigated the formation of the primer-template complex mediated by NCp and compared structural and functional properties of heat- and NCp-annealed complexes. We showed that both heat- and NCp-mediated procedures allow comparable high yields of annealing. Then, we investigated structural features of both kinds of complexes by enzymatic probing, and we compared their relative efficiency in (-) strong stop DNA synthesis. We did not find any significant differences between these complexes, suggesting that information derived from the heat-annealed complex can be transposed to the NCp-mediated complex and most likely to complexes formed in vivo.
