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

Reverse transcription of the yeast retrotransposon Ty1 is primed by the cytoplasmic initiator methionine tRNA (tRNA(iMet)). The primer tRNA(iMet) is packaged inside virus-like particles (VLPs) and binds to a 10 nucleotides minus-strand primer binding site, the (-)PBS, complementary to its 3' acceptor stem. We have found that three short sequences of the Ty1 RNA (box 1, box 2.1 and box 2.2) located 3' to the (-)PBS are complementary to other regions of the primer tRNA(iMet) (T psi C and DHU stems and loops). Reconstitution of reverse transcription in vitro with T7 transcribed Ty1 RNA species and tRNA(iMet) purified from yeast cells shows that the boxes do not affect the efficiency of reverse transcription. Thus the role of the boxes on packaging of the primer tRNA(iMet) into the VLPs was investigated by analysing the level of tRNA(iMet) packaged into mutant VLPs. Specific nucleotide changes in the (-)PBS or in the boxes that do not change the protein coding sequence but disrupt the complementarity with the primer tRNA(iMet) within the VLPs. We propose that base pairing between the primer tRNA(iMet) and the Ty1 RNA is of major importance for tRNA(iMet) packaging into the VLPs. Moreover the intactness of the boxes is essential for retrotransposition as shown by the transposition defect of a Ty1 element harboring an intact (-)PBS and mutated boxes.
