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

Successful replication of the AIDS retrovirus, HIV, requires that its genomic RNA be packaged in assembling virus particles with high fidelity. However, cellular mRNAs can also be packaged under some conditions. Viral RNA (vRNA) contains a 'packaging signal' (ψ) and is packaged as a dimer, with two vRNA monomers joined by a limited number of base pairs. It has two conformers, only one of which is capable of dimerization and packaging. Recent years have seen important progress on the 3D structure of dimeric ψ. Gag, the protein that assembles into the virus particle, interacts specifically with ψ, but this is obscured under physiological conditions by its high nonspecific affinity for any RNA. New results suggest that vRNA is selected for packaging because ψ nucleates assembly more efficiently than other RNAs.
