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

objectiveSlit2 is a secreted glycoprotein that has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, Slit2 has been shown to modulate CXCR4-mediated functional effects in T cells. However, its role in HIV-1 pathogenesis is not known. The objective of the current study is to analyze the role of Slit2 in modulating HIV-1 replication in T cells.

methodsThe effect of endogenous Slit2 expression of HIV-1 replication in T cells was studied by transient overexpression or downregulation of Slit2. The role of exogenous Slit2 was studied by analyzing the effect of soluble Slit2 protein on HIV-1 replication in T-cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

resultsStudies on T-cell lines revealed a higher expression of Slit2 in Jurkat T cells compared with MT4 cells. We observed that downregulation of Slit2 in Jurkat T cells using Slit2-specific small inhibitor RNA enhanced HIV-1 replication. However, overexpression of Slit2 in MT4 cells and PBMCs reduced HIV-1 replication. As Slit2 is a secretory protein, we further analyzed the role of soluble Slit2 on HIV-1 virus replication using various cell lines and PBMCs. Our data indicated that exogenous Slit2 inhibited replication of both X4-tropic and R5-tropic HIV-1 viruses. Further studies revealed that Slit2 mediated its functional effects by binding to Robo1 receptor.

conclusionTaken together, our results describe Slit2/Robo1 axis as a novel modulator of HIV-1 replication in T cells. These studies may contribute to the understanding of the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection.
