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 HIV-1 Nef protein was analyzed for apoptotic structural motifs that interact with the CXCR4 receptor and induce apoptosis in CD4(+) lymphocytes. Two apoptotic motifs were identified. One centered on Nef amino acids (aa) 50 to 60, with the overlapping 20-mer peptides retaining about 82% of the activity of the full Nef protein. The second centered on aa 170 to 180, with the overlapping 20-mer peptides retaining about 30% of the activity of the full protein. Significant apoptotic abilities were observed for 11-mer motif peptides spanning aa 50 to 60 and aa 170 to 180, with a scrambled version of the 11-mer motif peptide corresponding to aa 50 to 60 showing no apoptotic ability. Hallmarks of apoptosis, such as the formation of DNA ladders and caspase activation, that were observed with the full-length protein were equally evident upon exposure of cells to these motif peptides. A CXCR4 antibody and the endogenous ligand SDF-1alpha were effective in blocking Nef peptide-induced apoptosis as well as the physical binding of a fluorescently tagged Nef protein, while CCR5 antibodies were ineffective. The CXCR4-negative cell line MDA-MB-468 was resistant to the apoptotic peptides and became sensitive to the apoptotic peptides upon transfection with a CXCR4-expressing vector. A fluorescently tagged motif peptide and Nef protein displayed physical binding to CXCR4-transfected MDA-MB-468 cells, but not to CCR5-transfected cells. The removal of the apoptotic motif sequences from the full-length protein completely eliminated the ability of Nef to induce apoptosis. However, these modified Nef proteins still retained the ability to enhance viral infectivity. Thus, specific sequences in the Nef protein appear to be necessary for Nef protein-induced apoptosis as well as for physical interaction with CXCR4 receptors.
