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

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) exploits a number of host cellular factors for successful survival and propagation. The viral protein Nef plays an important role in HIV-1 pathogenesis by interacting with various cellular proteins. In the present work, we identified Cyclin K (CycK) as a novel Nef-interacting protein, and for the first time, we showed that CycK inhibits HIV-1 gene expression and replication in a Nef-dependent manner. The positive elongation factor b complex comprising cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) and Cyclin T1 is a critical cellular complex required for viral gene expression and replication. Enhanced expression of CycK in the presence of Nef induced CycK-CDK9 binding, which prevented CDK9-Cyclin T1 complex formation and nuclear translocation of CDK9, resulting in inhibition of HIV-1 long terminal repeat-driven gene expression. Furthermore, this effect of CycK was not observed with Nef-deleted virus, indicating the importance of Nef in this phenomenon. Finally, silencing of CycK in HIV-1-infected cells resulted in increased translocation of CDK9 into the nucleus, leading to increased viral gene expression and replication. These data also suggest that endogenous CycK might act as an inhibitory factor for HIV-1 gene expression and replication in T-cells. Thus, our results clearly demonstrate that CycK utilizes HIV-1 Nef protein to displace CycT1 from the positive elongation factor b complex, resulting in inhibition of HIV-1 gene expression and replication.
