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

The rat leukemia virus (RaLV) is an endogenous retrovirus that is spontaneously released by Sprague-Dawley rat embryo cells. The overall structure of the RaLV genome resembles that of other simple, replication-competent retroviruses, but the sequence of the long terminal repeats (LTR) is unique and unrelated to the known retroviruses. Phylogenetically, the RaLV genome appears to be more closely related to the feline leukemia virus group of retroviruses than to the murine leukemia virus group. A remarkable feature of RaLV is that it is capable of transducing a ras proto-oncogene from rat tumor cells in the form of an acutely transforming virus, designated the Rasheed strain of the rat sarcoma virus (RaSV). With the exception of the c-ras sequence, the genomes of both RaLV and RaSV are collinear. The RaSV-encoded oncogene v-Ra-ras expresses a fusion protein with a molecular mass of 29 kDa, and it exhibits a unique structure that has not been described previously for any known virus. The 5' end of this gene is derived from sequences encoding RaLV matrix followed by 20 bp derived from the U5 region of the RaLV LTR (RS-U5 element) which is joined at its 3' end to sequences derived from all six (coding and noncoding) exons of the c-ras proto-oncogene at the 3' end. This recombinational event represents a novel mechanism among the acutely transforming viruses that have been studied.
