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

Blood-borne human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to induce brain dysfunction. How HIV-1 crosses the BBB is unclear. Most work has focused on the ability of infected immune cells to cross the BBB, with less attention devoted to the study of free virus. Since the HIV-1 coat glycoprotein gp120 can cross the BBB, we postulated that gp120 might be key in determining whether free virus can cross the BBB. We used radioactive virions which do (Env+) or do not (Env-) bear the envelope proteins to characterize the ability of HIV-1 to be taken up by the murine BBB. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that the envelope proteins are key to the uptake of free virus and that uptake was enhanced by wheat germ agglutinin, strongly suggesting that the envelope proteins induce viral adsorptive endocytosis and transcytosis in brain endothelia. Capillary depletion showed that Env+ virus completely crossed the vascular BBB to enter the parenchyma of the brain. Virus also entered the cerebrospinal fluid, suggesting passage across the choroid plexus as well. About 0.22% of the intravenously injected dose was taken up per g of brain. In vitro studies showed that postinternalization membrane cohesion (membrane binding not reversed with acid wash or cell lysis) was a regulated event. Intact virus was recovered from the brain endothelial cytosol and was effluxed from the endothelial cells. These results show that free HIV-1 can cross the BBB by an event related to adsorptive endocytosis and mediated by the envelope proteins.
