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

HIV-1 matrix protein p17 activates a variety of cell responses which play a critical role in viral replication and infection. Its activity depends on the expression of p17 receptors (p17R) on the surface of target cells. Whether p17 also plays a role in stimulating human monocytes, a major HIV-1 reservoir, is not known. Here we show that human monocytes constitutively express p17Rs and that p17 selectively triggers these cells to produce MCP-1. The effect of p17 on MCP-1 expression was observed at the transcriptional level and was primarily dependent on the activation of the transcription factor AP-1. p17 increased the binding activity of AP-1 complexes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Deletion of the AP-1 binding sites in the MCP-1 promoter resulted in the lack of p17-induced MCP-1 transcription. In particular, the P3 binding site located between -69 and -63 position seems to be essential to MCP-1 mRNA induction in p17-treated monocytes. An ever increasing amount of evidences shows a tight link between biologically dysregulated monocytes, AP-1 activation, MCP-1 release and HIV-1 pathogenesis. Overall our results suggest that p17 may play a critical role in the monocyte-mediated inflammatory processes, which are suspected to be major precipitating events in AIDS-defining diseases.
