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

Here, we detail a biochemical assay that assesses respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activities at the viral promoters in vitro. The assay consists of a purified recombinant RSV polymerase complex comprising the L protein and its cofactor P, combined with a short RNA template and radiolabeled NTPs. RNA synthesis by the L-P complex yields radiolabeled RNA products that can be separated at the nucleotide level on denaturing polyacrylamide gels and detected by autoradiography or phosphor image analysis. Each component of the assay can be readily manipulated. As such, this simple assay has aided the understanding of early polymerase transcription and genome synthesis initiation events, revealed previously unknown polymerase functions, and determined how various RSV polymerase inhibitors function.
