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

APOBEC3G (A3G) is a potent restriction factor of HIV-1. The N-terminal domain of A3G (A3G-CD1) is responsible for oligomerization and nucleic acid binding, both of which are essential for anti-HIV activity. As a countermeasure, HIV-1 viral infectivity factor (Vif) binds A3G-CD1 to mediate A3G degradation. The structural basis for the functions of A3G-CD1 remains elusive. Here, we report the crystal structures of a primate A3G-CD1 (rA3G-CD1) alone and in complex with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). rA3G-CD1 shares a conserved core structure with the previously determined catalytic APOBECs, but displays unique features for surface charge, dimerization and nucleic acid binding. Its co-crystal structure with ssDNA reveals how the conformations of loops and residues surrounding the Zn-coordinated centre (Zn-centre) change upon DNA binding. The dimerization interface of rA3G-CD1 is important for oligomerization, nucleic acid binding and Vif-mediated degradation. These findings elucidate the molecular basis of antiviral mechanism and HIV-Vif targeting of A3G.
