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 Ty1 retrotransposon is primed by tRNAi(Met) base paired to the primer binding site near the 5'-end of Ty1 genomic RNA. To understand the molecular basis of the tRNAi(Met)-Ty1 RNA interaction the secondary structure of the binary complex was analysed. Enzymatic probes were used to test the conformation of tRNAi(Met) and of Ty1 RNA in the free form and in the complex. A secondary structure model of the tRNAi(Met) Ty1 RNA complex consistent with the probing data was constructed with the help of a computer program. The model shows that besides interactions between the primer binding site and the last 10 nt at the 3'-end of tRNAi(Met), three short regions of Ty1 RNA named boxes 0, 1 and 2.1 interact with the T and D stems and loops of tRNAiMet. Mutations were made in the boxes or in the complementary sequences of tRNAi(Met) to study the contribution of these sequences to formation of the complex. We find that interaction with at least one of the two boxes 0 or 1 is absolutely required for efficient annealing of the two RNAs. Sequence comparison showing that the primary sequence of the boxes is strictly conserved in Ty1 and Ty2 elements and previously published in vivo results underline the functional importance of the primary sequence of the boxes and suggest that extended interactions between genomic Ty1 RNA and the primary tRNAi(Met) play a role in the reverse transcription pathway.
