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

Upon integration into the host chromosome, retroviral gene expression requires transcription by the host RNA polymerase II, and viral messages are subject RNA processing events including 5'-end capping, pre-mRNA splicing, and polyadenylation. At a minimum, RNA splicing is required to generate the env mRNA, but viral replication requires substantial amounts of unspliced RNA to serve as mRNA and for incorporation into progeny virions as genomic RNA. Therefore, splicing has to be controlled to preserve the large unspliced RNA pool. Considering the current view that splicing and polyadenylation are coupled, the question arises as to how genome-length viral RNA is efficiently polyadenylated in the absence of splicing. Polyadenylation of many retroviral mRNAs is inefficient; in avian retroviruses, approximately 15 percent of viral transcripts extend into and are polyadenylated at downstream host genes, which often has profound biological consequences. Retroviruses have served as important models to study RNA processing and this review summarizes a body of work using avian retroviruses that has led to the discovery of novel RNA splicing and polyadenylation control mechanisms.
