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

A current model for the generation of transforming retroviruses proposes that read-through RNAs, containing both viral and cellular sequences, are copackaged with viral genomic RNA. It is, however, possible that a cellular mRNA is occasionally encapsidated into a retroviral particle, even though viral packaging sequences are absent. We have generated recombinant proviruses following copackaging of an avian leukosis viral genomic RNA and a neo-containing RNA completely devoid of retroviral sequences. In these studies, we used the packaging cell line SE21Q1b, which has the unique ability to randomly package cellular mRNA into retroviral particles. We describe 10 recombinants obtained following copackaging of nonhomologous RNAs. Our data show that recombination is not occurring at the DNA level in the parental SE21Q1b cells but is occurring at the RNA level, during reverse transcription. These data further suggest that reverse transcriptase can preferentially jump between templates at short stretches of homology in otherwise unrelated RNAs. We conclude that retroviral sequences are not required for packaged mRNA to be reverse transcribed and to be included in integrated proviruses.
