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

In polarized T cells, HIV-1 Gag localizes to a rear-end protrusion known as the uropod in a multimerization-dependent manner. Gag-laden uropods participate in formation of virological synapses, intercellular contact structures that play a key role in cell-to-cell HIV-1 transmission. Our previous observations suggest that Gag associates with uropod-directed microdomains (UDMs) that eventually comigrate with Gag to the uropod over the cell surface. However, the nature of Gag multimerization required for this movement, the composition of the UDMs, and the molecular determinants for Gag association with these microdomains remain unknown. In this study, we found that Gag multimerization prior to budding but beyond dimerization is necessary for Gag localization to the uropods, indicating that uropod localization occurs early in the assembly process. We also found that prior to membrane curvature, Gag multimers associate with a specific subset of UDMs containing PSGL-1, CD43, and CD44 but not ICAM-1, ICAM-3, or CD59. Notably, upon association, Gag excludes ICAM-3 from this subset of UDMs, revealing an active and selective reorganization of these microdomains by Gag. This specific association between Gag and UDMs is dependent on the highly basic region (HBR) in the Gag matrix (MA) domain. The overall positive charge of the HBR was needed for the interaction with the specific UDM subset, while the exact HBR sequence was not, unlike that seen for MA binding to the plasma membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. Taken together, these findings revealed that HIV-1 Gag associates with specific microdomains present in polarized T cells in an MA-dependent manner, which results in modification of the microdomain constituents.
