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 envelope proteins (env) of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and HIV type 1 assemble to form noncovalently associated oligomers in the endoplasmic reticulum. After cleavage in a Golgi compartment, oligomeric env complexes are transported to the surface of infected cells, where incorporation into budding virions can occur. Difficulties in obtaining adequate quantities of virions retaining env, as well as the unstable nature and hydrophobicity of the oligomer, may account for the absence of previous biophysical studies to determine the oligomeric valency of membrane-associated env. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oligomeric state of SIV env before membrane-fusion activation. Virion-associated env, obtained by crosslinking and detergent extraction, and non-crosslinked secreted env ectodomain (recombinant gp140) were purified by lentil-lectin chromatography and gel filtration as single predominant species. Sedimentation equilibrium-derived mass values for both forms of SIV env were close to those predicted for trimeric assemblies. Determination of the mass of individual molecules by scanning transmission electron microscopy confirmed that SIV virion-associated env and gp140 formed largely homogeneous populations of trimers. Furthermore, a triangular or tri-lobed morphology was clearly visualized in a subset of the trimers.
