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 HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein, NCp7, facilitates the use of human tRNA(Lys3)(UUU) as the primer for reverse transcription. NCp7 also remodels the htRNA's amino acid accepting stem and anticodon domains in preparation for their being annealed to the viral genome. To understand the possible influence of the htRNA's unique composition of post-transcriptional modifications on NCp7 recognition of htRNA(Lys3)(UUU), the protein's binding and functional remodeling of the human anticodon stem and loop domain (hASL(Lys3)) were studied. NCp7 bound the hASL(Lys3)(UUU) modified with 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine at position-34 (mcm(5)s(2)U(34)) and 2-methylthio-N(6)-threonylcarbamoyladenosine at position-37 (ms(2)t(6)A(37)) with a considerably higher affinity than the unmodified hASL(Lys3)(UUU) (K(d)=0.28±0.03 and 2.30±0.62 μM, respectively). NCp7 denatured the structure of the hASL(Lys3)(UUU)-mcm(5)s(2)U(34);ms(2)t(6)A(37);Ψ(39) more effectively than that of the unmodified hASL(Lys3)(UUU). Two 15 amino acid peptides selected from phage display libraries demonstrated a high affinity (average K(d)=0.55±0.10 μM) and specificity for the ASL(Lys3)(UUU)-mcm(5)s(2)U(34);ms(2)t(6)A(37) comparable to that of NCp7. The peptides recognized a t(6)A(37)-modified ASL with an affinity (K(d)=0.60±0.09 μM) comparable to that for hASL(Lys3)(UUU)-mcm(5)s(2)U(34);ms(2)t(6)A(37), indicating a preference for the t(6)A(37) modification. Significantly, one of the peptides was capable of relaxing the hASL(Lys3)(UUU)-mcm(5)s(2)U(34);ms(2)t(6)A(37);Ψ(39) structure in a manner similar to that of NCp7, and therefore could be used to further study protein recognition of RNA modifications. The post-transcriptional modifications of htRNA(Lys3)(UUU) have been found to be important determinants of NCp7's recognition prior to the tRNA(Lys3)(UUU) being annealed to the viral genome as the primer of reverse transcription.
