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

Lentiviruses, unlike the gammaretroviruses, are able to infect nondividing cells by transiting through nuclear pores to access the host genomic DNA. Several nuclear import and nuclear pore components have been implicated as playing a role in nuclear import, including transportin 3 (TNPO3), a member of the importin-β family of nuclear import proteins. We demonstrated that TNPO3 was required by several lentiviruses, with simian immunodeficiency virus mac239 (SIVmac239) and equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) the most dependent and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) the least. Analysis of HIV-1/SIVmac239 chimeric viruses showed that dependence on TNPO3 mapped to the SIVmac239 capsid. Mutation of a single amino acid, A76V in the SIVmac239 capsid, rendered the virus TNPO3 independent and resistant to mCPSF6-358, a truncated splicing factor that prevents HIV-1 nuclear import. Using a complementation assay based on 293T cells that express a TNPO3-targeted short hairpin RNA (shRNA), we showed that the Drosophila TNPO3 homologue can substitute for its human counterpart and that it mapped a key functional domain of TNPO3 to the carboxy-terminal cargo-binding domain. Within the cargo-binding domain, two hydrophobic motifs were required for TNPO3-dependent infection. The mutated TNPO3 proteins maintained their ability to localize to the nucleus, suggesting that their inability to restore lentivirus infection resulted from an inability to bind to a host or viral cargo protein.
