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

Residues that create the grooves of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Env triple-stranded coiled coil (HR1) and the residues that pack into the grooves (HR2) to complete the formation of the six-helix bundle (6HB) were mutated. The extent and kinetics of fusion as well as pore enlargement were measured for each mutant. Mutations near the hairpin turns of each monomer of the 6HB were more important than those far from the turn, for both HR1 and HR2. This result is consistent with the idea that binding of HR2 to the HR1 grooves is initiated near the hairpin turn of each monomer. Mutations at the distal portions also reduced fusion, albeit to a smaller extent. An intermediate of fusion (temperature-arrested state [TAS]) was formed, and the consequences of mutation were compared; a mutant that exhibited less fusion also showed slower kinetics from TAS. This suggests that formation of the bundle is a rate-limiting step downstream of the intermediate state. The rate of enlargement of a fusion pore also correlated with the extent and kinetics of fusion. The rate of pore enlargement was severely reduced by mutation. This supports our prior conclusion that formation of the 6HB occurs after pore creation and strongly suggests that the free energy released by bundle formation is directly used to promote pore growth.
