Endogenous LINE-1 (Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1) Reverse Transcriptase Activity in Platelets Controls Translational Events Through RNA-DNA Hybrids.
Article in Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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.
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
objectiveOne source of endogenous reverse transcriptase (eRT) activity in nucleated cells is the LINE-1/L1 (long interspersed nuclear element-1), a non-LTR retrotransposon that is implicated in the regulation of gene expression. Nevertheless, the presence and function of eRT activity and LINE-1 in human platelets, an anucleate cell, has not previously been determined. APPROACH AND
resultsWe demonstrate that human and murine platelets possess robust eRT activity and identify the source as being LINE-1 ribonucleoprotein particles. Inhibition of eRT in vitro in isolated platelets from healthy individuals or in people with HIV treated with RT inhibitors enhanced global protein synthesis and platelet activation. If HIV patients were treated with reverse transcriptase inhibitor, we found that platelets from these patients had increased basal activation. We next discovered that eRT activity in platelets controlled the generation of RNA-DNA hybrids, which serve as translational repressors. Inhibition of platelet eRT lifted this RNA-DNA hybrid-induced translational block and was sufficient to increase protein expression of target RNAs identified by RNA-DNA hybrid immunoprecipitation.
conclusionsThus, we provide the first evidence that platelets possess L1-encoded eRT activity. We also demonstrate that platelet eRT activity regulates platelet hyperreactivity and thrombosis and controls RNA-DNA hybrid formation and identify that RNA-DNA hybrids function as a novel translational control mechanism in human platelets.
