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 capsid protein and the reverse transcriptase of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) are encoded by two genes (ORF IV and ORF V) that lie in different translation reading frames. A comparison can be drawn between the synthesis of both CaMV proteins and the fusion protein in a yeast retrotransposon, Ty, resulting from a +1 frameshifting event which fuses two out-of-phase ORFs encoding the structural protein and the reverse transcriptase of Ty. For this reason, we constructed a yeast expression vector containing CaMV ORF VII fused to CaMV ORF III by a fragment of 452 bp including the overlapping region of ORF IV and ORF V, ORF VII and ORF III being used as reporter genes. We characterized two proteins (22 and 50 kDa) synthesized from this plasmid in the yeast expression system. We demonstrated that the 50-kDa polypeptide is not synthesized from a +1 frameshifting event but is probably a dimeric form of the 22-kDa protein. From this result we conclude that the CaMV reverse transcriptase is not produced by a mechanism of ribosomal frameshifting.
