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 translation of the unspliced and partially spliced viral mRNAs that encode the late, structural proteins of HIV-1 depends on the viral-protein Rev. Oligomeric binding of Rev to the Rev response element (RRE) in these mRNAs promotes their export from the nucleus and thus controls their expression. Here, we compared the effects of hydrophobic to hydrophilic mutations within the oligomerization domain of Rev using assays for oligomeric RNA binding, protein structure, and export from the nucleus. Oligomeric RNA binding alone does not correlate well with RNA transport activity in the subset of mutants. However, protein structure as judged by CD spectroscopy does correlate well with Rev function. The oligomeric assembly of Rev-L18T is impaired but exhibits minor defects in structure and retains a basal level of activity in vivo. The prevalence of L18T in infected individuals suggests a positive selection mechanism for L18T modulation of Rev activity that may delay the onset of AIDS.
