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

We have employed our CD4(+) T cell model named HIV-1 resistance factor (HRF(+)) to study the inducible anti-HIV-1 responses mediated through novel soluble molecules. We found that exposure to the soluble products of HRF(+) cells activated CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) mRNA expression in HIV-1 susceptible primary and transformed CD4(+) T cells and overlapped with their acquisition of transient resistance to virus. Conversely, the interference with the expression of CTCF gene in HRF(+) cells reversed the resistant phenotype and eliminated the biological potential of their cell culture supernatant to induce "HRF-like" activity in target cells. Band-shift analysis upon the nuclear fractions from HIV-1 resistant cells showed that CTCF protein bound to HIV-1 promoter and this binding prevented the formation of NF-kappaB/LTR complex. This evidence suggests that CTCF is an intracellular effector of HRF activity and that the acquisition of resistance to HIV-1 in CD4(+) T cells is a consequence of the prior activation of CTCF gene by the soluble entity secreted by HRF(+) cells.
