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

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune cells to encounter HIV-1 at the initial infection. DCs efficiently transfer HIV-1 to CD4+ T cells via infectious or virological synapses formed between DCs and T cells. Retroviruses exploit the cytoskeletal network to facilitate viral infection and dissemination; however, the role of the cytoskeleton in DC-mediated HIV-1 transmission is unknown. Here, we report that intact cytoskeleton is essential for DC-mediated HIV-1 transmission to CD4+ T cells. We found that macropinocytosis of HIV-1 contributes to DC-mediated HIV-1 endocytosis and transmission. Blocking HIV-1 macropinocytosis and disrupting actin or microtubules in DCs with specific inhibitors significantly prevented DC-mediated HIV-1 trans-infection of CD4+ T cells. Altered HIV-1 trafficking and impaired formation of virological synapses primarily accounted for the inhibition of viral transmission by cytoskeletal inhibitors. Our results provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying DC-mediated HIV-1 transmission to CD4+ T cells via the cytoskeletal network.
