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

Retinoic acid (RA), a developmental morphogen, causes activation of a transcript of an endogenous retrovirus-related element in the human teratocarcinoma-derived cell line PA-1. This provirus is defective, and the provirus-related sequences exist as multicopy elements (more than 20 copies) in human DNA. This is the first human endogenous retroviral mRNA that is known to be transcriptionally activated by RA. The nucleotide sequence of the 3,357 bp of this viral cDNA was determined and shows a strong homology to the type C-related human endogenous retroviral proviruses ERV3 and 4-1. This cDNA contains 'R-U5-delta pol-env-U3-R sequences of the provirus. Adjacent to the putative 5' long terminal repeat of this provirus there is an 18-bp sequence complementary to the 3' end of isoleucine tRNA. We named this RA-responsive virus RRHERV-I.
