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

To ensure successful replication, HIV-1 has developed a Rev-mediated RNA transport system that promotes the export of unspliced genomic RNA from nuclei to cytoplasm. This process requires the Rev responsive element (RRE) that is positioned in the viral transcript encoding Env protein, as well as in unspliced and singly spliced viral transcripts. We identified Puralpha, a single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein as a cellular partner for Rev that augments the appearance of unspliced viral RNAs in the cytoplasm. A decrease in the level of Puralpha expression by siRNA diminishes the level of Rev-dependent expression of viral RNA. Through its nucleic acid binding domain, Puralpha exhibits the ability to interact with the multimerization and RBD domains of Rev. Similar to Rev, Puralpha associates with RRE and in the presence of Rev forms a complex with slower electrophoretic mobility than those from Rev:RRE and Puralpha:RRE. The interaction of Puralpha with RRE occurs in the cytoplasm where enhanced association of Rev with RRE is observed. Our data indicate that the partnership of Puralpha with Rev is beneficial for Rev-mediated expression of the HIV-1 genome.
