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

Defining the molecular interaction between Gag proteins in an assembled hexagonal lattice of immature retrovirus particles is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of virus assembly and maturation. Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy have yielded subnanometer structural information on the morphology of immature Gag lattices, making computational modeling and simulations feasible for investigating the Gag-Gag interactions at the atomic level. We have examined the structure of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and in vitro assembly, to create the first all-atom model of an immature retroviral lattice. Microseconds-long replica exchange molecular dynamics simulation of the spacer peptide (SP)-nucleocapsid (NC) subdomains results in a six-helix bundle with amphipathic properties. The resulting model of the RSV Gag lattice shows features and dynamics of the capsid protein with implications for the maturation process, and confirms the stabilizing role of the upstream and downstream regions of Gag, namely p10 and SP-NC.
