Differential Mechanisms of Inflammation and Endothelial Dysfunction by HIV-1 Subtype-B and Recombinant CRF02_AG Tat Proteins on Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells: Implications for Viral Neuropathogenesis.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
The recombinant HIV-1 CRF02_AG is prevalent in West-Central Africa but its effects on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are not known. We analyzed the effects of Tat from HIV-1 subtype-B (Tat.B) and CRF02_AG (Tat.AG) on primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), the major BBB component. Exposure of HBMEC to Tat.B increased IL-6 expression and transcription by 9- (P < 0.001) and 113-fold (P < 0.001), respectively, whereas Tat.AG increased IL-6 expression and transcription by 2.7-3.8-fold and 35.7-fold (P < 0.001), respectively. Tat.B induced IL-6 through the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-1/4/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase(MKK)/C-jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) pathways, in an activator protein-1(AP1)- and nuclear factor-kappaB (NFκB)-independent manner, whereas Tat.AG effects occurred via MKK/JNK/AP1/NFκB pathways. Tat-induced effects were associated with activation of c-jun (serine-63) and SAPK/JNK (Thr183/Tyr185). We demonstrated increased expression of transcription factors associated with these pathways (Jun, RELB, CEBPA), with higher levels in Tat.B-treated cells compared to Tat.AG. Functional studies showed that Tat.B and Tat.AG decreased the expression of tight junction proteins claudin-5 and ZO-1 and decreased the trans-endothelial electric resistance (TEER); Tat.B induced greater reduction in TEER, claudin-5, and ZO-1, compared to Tat.AG. Overall, our data showed increased inflammation and BBB dysfunction with Tat.B, compared to Tat.AG. This suggests these two HIV-1 subtypes differentially affect the BBB and central nervous system; our data provides novel insights into the molecular basis of these differential Tat-mediated effects.
