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 redox state of the cysteine-rich region of the HIV Tat protein is known to play a crucial role in Tat biological activity. In this article, we show that Tat displays two alternative functional states depending on the presence of either one or three reduced sulphydryl groups in the cysteine-rich region, respectively. Using different approaches, a disulfide pattern has been defined for the Tat protein and a specific DTT-dependent breaking order of disulfide bonds highlighted. The Tat redox state deeply influences macrophage protein uptake. Immunoistochemistry analysis shows that the oxidized protein does not enter cells, whereas partially reduced protein reaches the cytosol and, to a limited extent, the nucleus. Finally electrophoretic analysis shows Tat high-molecular weight multi-aggregation, resulting in the loss of biological activity. This is due to strong electrostatic and metal-binding interactions, whereas Tat dimerization involves metal-binding interactions as well as disulfide bond formation.
