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 DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3G (A3G) is capable of blocking retrovirus replication by editing viral cDNA and impairing reverse transcription. However, the biophysical details of this host-pathogen interaction are unclear. We applied atomic force microscopy (AFM) and hybrid DNA substrates to investigate properties of A3G bound to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Hybrid DNA substrates included ssDNA with 5' or 3' ends attached to DNA duplexes (tail-DNA) and gap-DNA substrates, in which ssDNA is flanked by two double-stranded fragments. We found that A3G binds with similar efficiency to the 5' and 3' substrates, suggesting that ssDNA polarity is not an important factor. Additionally, we observed that A3G binds the single-stranded region of the gap-DNA substrates with the same efficiency as tail-DNA. These results demonstrate that single-stranded DNA ends are not needed for A3G binding. The protein stoichiometry does not depend on the ssDNA substrate type, but the ssDNA length modulates the stoichiometry of A3G in the complex. We applied single-molecule high-speed AFM to directly visualize the dynamics of A3G in the complexes. We were able to visualize A3G sliding and protein association-dissociation events. During sliding, A3G translocated over a 69-nucleotide ssDNA segment in <1 s. Association-dissociation events were more complex, as dimeric A3G could dissociate from the template as a whole or undergo a two-step process with monomers capable of sequential dissociation. We conclude that A3G monomers, dimers, and higher-order oligomers can bind ssDNA substrates in a manner independent of strand polarity and availability of free ssDNA ends.
