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

We have analysed functional properties of putative proteins encoded by the yeast transposable element, Ty1, by overexpression of TY genes. High-level expression was achieved by appropriate fusion of a Ty sequence, TY9C, to the yeast ADH1 promoter and transformation of yeast cells with this construction. As shown recently by others (Garfinkel et al. 1985; Mellor et al. 1985c) TY overexpression leads to an increase in particle-bound reverse transcriptase activity and to an intracellular accumulation of virus-like particles (Ty-VLPs). We have used a number of deletions in the second open reading frame (TYB) to identify functional domains required for processing and assembly of Ty proteins. Deletions in the TYB region with homology to acid proteases result in overproduction of an unprocessed form of the TYA protein (pro-TYA) which represents the major protein of Ty-VLPs. One particular mutant construction, TY9C-delta 36, led to the accumulation of a particle-bound, 160 kDa protein which cross-reacted with a mouse antiserum raised against purified pro-TYA protein. This supports the hypothesis that TYB is expressed as a TYA/TYB fusion protein which is processed by a TYB-encoded protease activity. Ty-VLPs are formed in the absence of protein processing and even when the TYB gene is not expressed. Thus, we assume that the assembly of Ty particles occurs prior to processing of Ty proteins.
