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

Retroviruses copy their RNA genome into a DNA molecule, but little is known of the structure of the complex mediating reverse transcription in vivo. We used confocal and electron microscopy to study the structure of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) intracellular reverse transcription complexes (RTCs). Cytoplasmic extracts were prepared 3, 4, and 16 h after acute infection by Dounce homogenization in hypotonic buffer. RTCs were purified by velocity sedimentation, followed by density fractionation in linear sucrose gradients and dialysis in a large pore cellulose membrane. RTCs had a sedimentation velocity of approximately 350 S and a density of 1.34 g/ml and were active in an endogenous reverse transcription assay. Double labeling of nucleic acids and viral proteins allowed specific visualization of RTCs by confocal microscopy. Electron microscopy revealed that RTCs are large nucleoprotein structures of variable shape consisting of packed filaments ca. 6 nm thick. Integrase and Vpr are associated with discrete regions of the 6-nm filaments. The nucleic acids within the RTC are coated by small proteins distinct from nucleocapsid and are partially protected from nuclease digestion.
