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 use a specific tRNA, whose 3' end is complementary to the 18 nucleotides of the primer binding site (PBS), to prime reverse transcription. Previous work has shown that initiation of HIV-1 reverse transcription is a specific process, in contrast with the subsequent elongation phase. HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) specifically recognizes the complex formed by the viral RNA and tRNA3Lys. We previously proposed a secondary structure model of this complex based on chemical and enzymatic probing. In this model, tRNA3Lysextensively interacts with the genomic RNA. Here, we have combined site-directed mutagenesis and structural probing to test crucial aspects of this model. We found that the complex interactions between tRNA3Lysand HIV-1 RNA, and the intra-molecular rearrangements did not depend on the presence of upstream and downstream viral sequences. Indeed, a short RNA template, encompassing nucleotides 123-217 of the HIV-1 Mal genome, was able, together with the primer tRNA, to adopt the same structure as longer viral RNA fragments. This model primer/template is thus amenable to detailed structural and functional studies. The probing data obtained on the tRNA3Lys/mutant viral RNA complexes support the previously proposed model. Furthermore, they indicate that destroying the complementarity between the anticodon of tRNA3Lysand the so-called viral 'A-rich loop' destabilizes all four helices of the extended tRNA3Lys/HIV-1 RNA interactions.
