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 biologically active form of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is the p66/p51 heterodimer. The process of maturation of the heterodimer from precursor proteins is poorly understood. Previous studies indicated that association of p66 and p51 is very slow. Three techniques, a pre-steady-state activity assay, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, and a FRET assay, were used to monitor the dimerization kinetics of RT. Kinetic experiments were conducted with purified p66 and p51 proteins in aqueous buffer. All three techniques gave essentially the same results. The dissociation kinetics of p66/p51 were first-order with rate constants (k(diss)) of approximately 4 x 10(-6) s(-1) (t(1/2) = 48 h). The association kinetics of p66 and p51 were concentration-dependent with second-order rate constants (k(ass)) of approximately 1.7 M(-1) s(-1) for the simple bimolecular association reaction. The implications of slow dimerization of p66/p51 for the maturation process are discussed. A reaction-controlled model invoking conformational selection is proposed to explain the slow protein-protein association kinetics.
