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

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) initiates reverse transcription of its viral RNA (vRNA) genome from a cellular tRNA(3)(Lys) primer. This process is characterized by a slow initiation phase with specific pauses, followed by a fast elongation phase. We report a single-molecule study that monitors the dynamics of individual initiation complexes, comprised of vRNA, tRNA and HIV reverse transcriptase (RT). RT transitions between two opposite binding orientations on tRNA-vRNA complexes, and the prominent pausing events are related to RT binding in a flipped orientation opposite to the polymerization-competent configuration. A stem-loop structure within the vRNA is responsible for maintaining the enzyme predominantly in this flipped orientation. Disruption of the stem-loop structure triggers the initiation-to-elongation transition. These results highlight the important role of the structural dynamics of the initiation complex in directing transitions between early reverse transcription phases.
