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 MA protein from HIV-1 is a small, multifunctional protein responsible for regulating various stages of the viral replication cycle. To achieve its diverse tasks, MA interacts with host cell proteins and it has been reported that one of these is the ubiquitous calcium-sensing calmodulin (CaM), which is up-regulated upon HIV-1 infection. The nature of the CaM-MA interaction has been the subject of structural studies, using peptides based on the MA sequence, that have led to conflicting conclusions. The results presented here show that CaM binds intact MA with 1:1 stoichiometry in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner and that the complex adopts a highly extended conformation in solution as revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering. Alterations in tryptophan fluorescence suggest that the two buried tryptophans (W16 and W36) located in the first two alpha-helices of MA mediate the CaM interaction. Major chemical shift changes occur in the NMR spectrum of MA upon complex formation, whereas chemical shift changes in the CaM spectrum are quite modest and are assigned to residues within the normal target protein-binding hydrophobic clefts of CaM. The NMR data indicate that CaM binds MA via its N- and C-terminal lobes and induces a dramatic conformational change involving a significant loss of secondary and tertiary structure within MA. Circular dichroism experiments suggest that MA loses approximately 20% of its alpha-helical content upon CaM binding. Thus, CaM binding is expected to impact upon the accessibility of interaction sites within MA that are involved in its various functions.
