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

GLUT1 has recently been suggested to be a binding receptor for human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). We used a novel, short-term assay to define the role of GLUT1 in cell-to-cell transmission. Although increasing cell surface levels of GLUT1 enhanced HTLV-I transfer, efficient virus spread correlated largely with heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) expression on target cells. Moreover, since activated CD4+ T cells and cord blood lymphocytes that are susceptible to HTLV-1 infection expressed undetectable levels of surface GLUT1, these results indicate that GLUT1 and HSPGs are important for efficient cell-to-cell transmission of HTLV-1 but raise concerns on the role of GLUT1 as the HTLV-1 primary binding receptor.
