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 developed murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based self-inactivating and self-activating vectors to show that the previously demonstrated high-frequency direct repeat deletions are not unique to spleen necrosis virus (SNV) or the neomycin drug resistance gene. Retroviral vectors pKD-HTTK and pKD-HTpTK containing direct repeats composed of segments of the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HTK) gene were constructed; in pKD-HTpTK, the direct repeat flanked the MLV packaging signal. The generation of hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine-resistant colonies after one cycle of retroviral replication demonstrated functional reconstitution of the HTK gene. Quantitative Southern analysis indicated that direct repeat deletions occurred in 57 and 91% of the KD-HTTK and KD-HTpTK proviruses, respectively. These results demonstrate that (i) deletion of direct repeats occurs at similar high frequencies in SNV and MLV vectors, (ii) MLV psi can be efficiently deleted by using direct repeats, (iii) suicide genes can be functionally reconstituted during reverse transcription, and (iv) the psi region may be a hot spot for reverse transcriptase template switching events.
