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

We have previously reported the unique properties of a receptor for amphotropic murine leukemia viruses (A-MuLVs) expressed on Chinese hamster E36 cells (C.A. Wilson, K.B. Farrell, and M.V. Eiden, J. Virol. 68:7697-7703, 1994). This receptor, HaPiT2 (formerly designated EAR), in contrast to the human form of the A-MuLV receptor (PiT2), functions as a receptor not only for A-MuLVs but also for gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV). Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the HaPiT2 and PiT2 proteins suggested that differences in the amino acid composition of the extracellular region(s) of the hamster and human proteins account for their functional differences. We substituted extracellular regions of HaPiT2 for those of PiT2 to map the region of the HaPiT2 protein required for GALV receptor function. Only those PiT2-HaPiT2 chimeric receptors containing the fourth and fifth extracellular regions of HaPiT2 functioned as GALV receptors. We have now determined that the substitution of a single amino acid residue, glutamic acid, for the lysine residue at position 522 in the fourth extracellular region of the PiT2 protein is sufficient to render PiT2 functional as a GALV receptor.
