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

Expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Rev protein is essential for completion of the viral life cycle. Rev mediates nuclear export of partially spliced and unspliced viral transcripts and therefore bears a nuclear localization signal (NLS) as well as a nuclear export signal (NES), which allow its nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. Attempts to express the wild-type Rev protein in eukaryotic human cultured cells have encountered difficulties and so far have failed. Here we show that accumulation of Rev, which occurs in nondividing Rev-expressing cells or when such cells reach confluency, results in death of these cells. Cell death was also promoted by addition of a cell permeable peptide bearing the Rev-NES sequence, but not by the Rev-NLS peptide. Our results probably indicate that binding of excess amounts of the Rev protein or the NES peptide to the exportin receptor CRM1 results in cells' death.
