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

In vitro reaction conditions using HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) and nucleocapsid protein (NC) that allowed efficient synthesis of single-stranded DNA products over a thousand nucleotides in length from genomic HIV RNA were characterized. Consistent with previous reports, the reactions required high concentrations of NC and RT. Long products were produced as a result of frequent strand transfer between RNA templates, averaging at least one transfer per 300 nucleotides synthesized. No change in RT processivity was observed in the reactions in the presence versus absence of NC. Synthesis of long products required formation of a high molecular mass aggregate between NC and nucleic acids. The aggregate formed rapidly and pelleted with low speed centrifugation. The aggregate was accessible to RT as pre-formed aggregates synthesized long products when RT was added. NC finger mutants lacking either finger one or two or with the finger positions switched were all effective in promoting long products. This suggests that the aggregation/condensation but not helix-destabilizing activity of NC was required. We propose that these high molecular mass aggregates promote synthesis of long reverse transcription products in vitro by concentrating nucleic acids, RT enzyme and NC to close proximity, thereby mimicking the role of the capsid environment within the host cell.
