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

Mouse APOBEC3 (mA3) is a cytidine deaminase that can act on the single-stranded DNA reverse transcripts of retroviruses resulting in G→A hypermutation of proviral DNA. Many mA3 studies have used NIH 3T3 cells assuming that endogenous mA3 production was negligible. We developed a monoclonal antibody specific for mA3 that reveals detectable mA3 in NIH 3T3 cells and we demonstrate that AKV released from the cells undergoes G→A hypermutation. Inactivation of the mA3 gene abolished the deamination confirming that AKV hypermutation was mediated by mA3. The G→A mutations in AKV viral transcripts deviated from a normal distribution with all the mutations contained within only 20% of the transcripts. Single cell analyses revealed that the expression of mA3 in NIH 3T3 cells was limited to 20% of the cells, which likely accounted for the abnormal distribution of mutations. Endogenous NIH 3T3 mA3 was found to restrict AKV replication.
