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

backgroundThe transactivator of transcription (Tat) protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is known to undergo ubiquitination. However, the roles of ubiquitination in regulating Tat stability and activities are unclear. In addition, although the 72- and 86-residue forms are commonly used for in vitro studies, the 101-residue form is predominant in the clinical isolates of HIV-1. The influence of the carboxyl-terminal region of Tat on its functions remains unclear.

resultsIn this study, we find that Tat undergoes lysine 48-linked ubiquitination and is targeted to proteasome-dependent degradation. Expression of various ubiquitin mutants modulates Tat activities, including the transactivation of transcription, induction of apoptosis, interaction with tubulin, and stabilization of microtubules. Moreover, the 72-, 86- and 101-residue forms of Tat also exhibit different stability and aforementioned activities.

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that the ubiquitination and carboxyl-terminal region of Tat are critical determinants of its stability and activities.
