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 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) fusion peptide serves as a useful model system for understanding viral/target cell fusion, at least to the lipid mixing stage. Previous solid-state NMR studies have shown that the peptide adopts an oligomeric beta-strand structure when associated with a lipid and cholesterol mixture close to that of membranes of host cells of the virus. In this study, this structure was further investigated using four different peptide constructs. In aqueous buffer solution, two of the constructs were primarily monomeric whereas the other two constructs had significant populations of oligomers/aggregates. NMR measurements for all membrane-associated peptide constructs were consistent with oligomeric beta-strand structure. Thus, constructs that are monomeric in solution can be converted to oligomers as a result of membrane association. In addition, samples prepared by very different methods had very similar NMR spectra, which indicates that the beta-strand structure is an equilibrium rather than a kinetically trapped structure. Lipid mixing assays were performed to assess the fusogenicities of the different constructs, and there was not a linear correlation between the solution oligomeric state and fusogenicity. However, the functional assays do suggest that small oligomers may be more fusogenic than either monomers or large aggregates.
