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

Virion infectivity factor (Vif) is essential for the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in vivo, but its function remains uncertain. Recently, we have shown that Vif proteins are able to form multimers, including dimers, trimers, or tetramers. Because the multimerization of Vif proteins is required for Vif function in the viral life cycle, we propose that it could be a novel target for anti-HIV-1 therapeutics. Through a phage peptide display method, we have identified a set of 12-mer peptides containing a PXP motif that binds to HIV-1 Vif protein. These proline-enriched peptides potently inhibited the Vif-Vif interaction in vitro. We have also screened a set of synthesized Vif peptides (15-mer), which covers all the amino acids of the HIV-1 Vif protein sequence, for their ability to inhibit the Vif-Vif interaction in vitro. We demonstrated that Vif-derived proline-enriched peptides that contain the (161)PPLP(164) domain are able to inhibit the Vif-Vif interaction. Conversely, the deletion of the (161)PPLP(164) domain of Vif protein will significantly impair the capability of Vif proteins to interact with each other, indicating that the (161)PPLP(164) domain plays a key role in Vif multimerization. All these results demonstrate that the proline-enriched peptides block the multimerization of Vif through interfering with the polyproline interfaces of Vif formed by (161)PPLP(164) domain. Moreover, these peptides which inhibit the Vif-Vif interaction in vitro potently inhibit HIV-1 replication in the "nonpermissive" T-cells. We propose that this study starts a novel strategy to develop structural diverse inhibitors of Vif such as peptidomimetics or small organic molecules.
