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

How murine leukemia virus (MLV) travels from the cell membrane to the nucleus and the mechanism for nuclear entry of MLV DNA in dividing cells still remain unclear. It seems likely that the MLV preintegration complex (PIC) interacts with cellular proteins to perform these tasks. We recently published that the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein complex and its regulator proteins interact with the MLV PIC at early times of infection, suggesting a functional interaction between the incoming viral particles, the dynein complex, and dynein regulators. To better understand the role of the dynein complex in MLV infection, we performed short hairpin RNA (shRNA) screening of the dynein light chains on MLV infection. We found that silencing of a specific light chain of the cytoplasmic dynein complex, DYNLRB2, reduced the efficiency of infection by MLV reporter viruses without affecting HIV-1 infection. Furthermore, the overexpression of DYNLRB2 increased infection by MLV. We conclude that the DYNLRB2 light chain of the cytoplasmic dynein complex is an important and specific piece of the host machinery needed for MLV infection.
