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

Reverse transcriptase (RT) with its associated RNase H (RH) domain and integrase (IN) are key enzymes encoded by retroviruses and retrotransposons. Several studies have implied a functional role of the interaction between IN and RT during the replication of retroviral and retrotransposon genomes. In this study, IN deletion mutants were used to investigate the role of IN on the RT activity of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae retrotransposon Ty1. We have identified two domains of Ty1 integrase which have effects on RT activity in vivo. The deletion of a domain spanning amino acid residues 233 to 520 of IN increases the exogenous specific activity of RT up to 20-fold, whereas the removal of a region rich in acidic amino acid residues between residues 521 and 607 decreases its activity. The last result complements our observation that an active recombinant RT protein can be obtained if a small acidic tail mimicking the acidic domain of IN is fused to the RT-RH domain. We suggest that interaction between these acidic amino acid residues of IN and a basic region of RT could be critical for the correct folding of RT and for the formation of an active conformation of the enzyme.
