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

Retroviruses, as a result of the presence of two identical RNA molecules in their virions, recombine at a high rate. When nonhomologous RNA is present in the dimer RNA molecules, nonhomologous recombination occurs, although the rate is only 0.1% of the rate of homologous recombination. We developed a protocol to study transduction of cellular proto-oncogenes in a single cycle of retrovirus replication. The psi sequences is a cis required sequence for packaging viral RNA into viral particles. To test if the rate of nonhomologous recombination increases about 1,000 times when the psi sequence is deleted, as reported by other, we modified vectors we used previously (J. Zhang and H. M. Temin, Science 259:234-238, 1993). Our results indicated that the recombination rate did not undergo the increase of about 1,000 times when the psi sequence of a chimeric RNA was deleted.
