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 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is "enveloped" by a membrane, and infection of a host cell begins with fusion between viral and target cell membranes. Fusion is catalyzed by the HIV gp41 protein which contains a functionally critical approximately 20-residue apolar "fusion peptide" (HFP) that associates with target cell membranes. In this study, chemically synthesized HFPs were associated with host-cell-like membranes and had "scatter-uniform" labeling (SUL), that is, only one residue of each amino acid type was U-(13)C, (15)N labeled. For the first sixteen HFP residues, an unambiguous (13)C chemical shift assignment was derived from 2D (13)C/(13)C correlation spectra with short mixing times, and the shifts were consistent with continuous beta-strand conformation. (13)C-(13)C contacts between residues on adjacent strands were derived from correlation spectra with long mixing times and suggested close proximity of the following residues: Ala-6/Gly-10, Ala-6/Phe-11, and Ile-4/Gly-13. Specific antiparallel beta-strand registries were further tested using a set of HFPs that were (13)CO-labeled at Ala-14 and (15)N-labeled at either Val-2, Gly-3, Ile-4, or Gly-5. The solid-state NMR data were fit with 50-60% population of antiparallel HFP with either Ala-14/Gly-3 or Ala-14/Ile-4 registries and 40-50% population of structures not specified by the NMR experiments. The first two registries correlated with intermolecular hydrogen bonding of 15-16 apolar N-terminal residues and this hydrogen-bonding pattern would be consistent with a predominant location of these residues in the hydrophobic membrane interior. To our knowledge, these results provide the first residue-specific structural models for membrane-associated HFP in its beta-strand conformation.
