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

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcripts have three fates: to serve as genomic RNAs, unspliced mRNAs, or spliced subgenomic mRNAs. Recent structural studies have shown that sequences near the 5' end of HIV-1 RNA can adopt at least two alternate three-dimensional conformations, and that these structures dictate genome versus unspliced mRNA fates. HIV-1's use of alternate transcription start sites (TSS) can influence which RNA conformer is generated, and this choice, in turn, dictates the fate of the unspliced RNA. The structural context of HIV-1's major 5' splice site differs in these two RNA conformers, suggesting that the conformers may differ in their ability to support HIV-1 splicing events. Here, we tested the hypothesis that TSS that shift the RNA monomer/dimer structural equilibrium away from the splice site sequestering dimer-competent fold would favor splicing. Consistent with this hypothesis, the results showed that the 5' ends of spliced HIV-1 RNAs were enriched in 3G
