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

Synthesis of the relaxed-circular (RC) DNA genomes of hepadnaviruses by reverse transcriptase involves two template switches during plus-strand DNA synthesis. These template switches require repeat sequences (so-called donor and acceptor sites) between which a complementary strand of nucleic acid is transferred. To determine cis-acting elements apart from the donor and acceptor sites that are required for plus-strand RC DNA synthesis by hepatitis B virus (HBV), a series of mutants bearing a small deletion were made and analyzed for their impact on the viral genome synthesis. We found three novel cis-acting elements in the HBV genome: one element, located in the middle of the minus strand, is indispensable, whereas the other two elements, located near either end of the minus strand, contribute modestly to the plus-strand RC DNA synthesis. The data indicated that the first element facilitates plus-strand RNA primer translocation or subsequent elongation during plus-strand RC DNA synthesis, while the last two elements, although distantly located on the minus strand, act at multiple steps to promote plus-strand RC DNA synthesis. The necessity of multiple cis-acting elements on the minus-strand template reflects the complex nature of hepadnavirus reverse transcription.
