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

Conformational changes in the HIV gp41 protein are directly correlated with fusion between the HIV and target cell plasma membranes, which is the initial step of infection. Key gp41 fusion conformations include an early extended conformation termed prehairpin which contains exposed regions and a final low-energy conformation termed hairpin which has a compact six-helix bundle structure. Current fusion models debate the roles of hairpin and prehairpin conformations in the process of membrane merger. In the present work, gp41 constructs have been engineered which correspond to fusion relevant parts of both prehairpin and hairpin conformations and have been analyzed for their ability to induce lipid mixing between membrane vesicles. The data correlate membrane fusion function with the prehairpin conformation and suggest that one of the roles of the final hairpin conformation is sequestration of membrane-perturbing gp41 regions with consequent loss of the membrane disruption induced earlier by the prehairpin structure. To our knowledge, this is the first biophysical study to delineate the membrane fusion potential of gp41 constructs modeling key fusion conformations.
