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

Myeloid cells display a differential permissivity to primate lentivirus infection that is related to their ability to encode the Vpx and to a lesser extent the Vpr accessory proteins. Vpr is encoded by all primate lentiviruses, including HIV-1 and HIV-2, while its paralog, Vpx, is unique to HIV-2 and a subset of simian lentiviruses. Both proteins usurp the CRL4A (DCAF1) E3 ligase to fulfil their functions. Vpx induces the degradation of SAMHD1, a nucleotide triphosphohydrolase that blocks lentiviral reverse transcription in myeloid cells via depletion of the intracellular pool of dNTPs. Vpr engages CRL4A (DCAF1) to degrade a yet unknown factor(s), whose proteolysis induces a G2 cell-cycle arrest in dividing cells. Although the identification of the host protein(s) targeted for degradation by Vpr will be necessary to understand its actual function, the discovery of SAMHD1 has already shed light into a new mechanism of restriction that limits infection of myeloid cells by HIV-1.
