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

Importin α (Imα) plays an important role during the shuttling of the HIV-1 preintegration complex (PIC) from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Imα may bind to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which is localized to nucleus following hormone binding. However, it remains unclear whether the binding of dexamethasone (Dex) to GR affects the Imα redistribution and, thus, alters PIC import. In our study, 293T cells were transfected with the lentiviral vector (LV) carrying the luciferase (Luci) gene following Dex or RU486 pretreatment. The Luci activity (LucA) in the Dex or RU486 group was significantly higher compared to that in the control group (P≤0.01). The effects of Dex and RU486 were inhibited by the Imα inhibitor Bimax1 (P≤0.01), although the inhibitory effect of Bimax1 was alleviated by increasing the Dex dose. Furthermore, it was observed that the LucA in the 30-min Dex treatment group was lower compared to that in the 30-min Dex pretreatment group (P≤0.01). These results suggested that Dex may improve PIC import via increasing the cytoplasmic Imα levels. Kunming mice were transfected
