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

Expression of the human immunodeficiency virus tat-encoded protein (Tat) is required for virus replication. A genetic approach was used to facilitate the purification of biologically active Tat. A recombinant Tat protein containing a stretch of six histidine residues and a protease cleavage site was engineered and purified to greater than 95% homogeneity in a single step by immobilized metal-ion chromatography with a special affinity resin that has selectivity for proteins with neighboring histidine residues. A modified scrape loading method for introduction of protein into cell monolayers was used to demonstrate that the purified Tat retained biological activity. Tat function was completely blocked in the presence of transcription inhibitors, which demonstrates the requirement of ongoing mRNA synthesis for trans-activation. These studies indicate that the mechanism of trans-activation is unlikely to involve a direct action of Tat on mRNA stability, transport, or translation and provides the basis for a rapid assay that can be used to identify inhibitors of trans-activation. The methods described herein should be useful for the functional analysis of other proteins that do not confer activity through a receptor-mediated pathway.
