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

Aptamer selections often yield distinct subpopulations, each with unique phenotypes that can be leveraged for specialized applications. Although most selections aim to attain ever higher specificity, we sought to identify aptamers that recognize increasingly divergent primate lentiviral reverse transcriptases (RTs). We hypothesized that aptamer subpopulations in libraries pre-enriched against a single RT may exhibit broad-spectrum binding and inhibition, and we devised a multiplexed poly-target selection to elicit those phenotypes against a panel of primate lentiviral RTs. High-throughput sequencing and coenrichment/codepletion analysis of parallel and duplicate selection trajectories rapidly narrowed the list of candidate aptamers by orders of magnitude and identified dozens of priority candidates for further screening. Biochemical characterization validated a novel aptamer motif and several rare and unobserved variants of previously known motifs that inhibited recombinant RTs to varying degrees. These broad-spectrum aptamers also suppressed replication of viral constructs carrying phylogenetically diverse RTs. The poly-target selection and coenrichment/codepletion approach described herein is a generalizable strategy for identifying cross-reactivity among related targets from combinatorial libraries.
