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

Identification of the host or viral factors that enhance HIV infection is critical for preventing sexual transmission of HIV. Amyloid fibrils derived from human semen, including semen-derived enhancer of virus infection and semenogelins, enhance HIV-1 infection dramatically in vitro. In this study, we reported that a short-degraded peptide fragment 1 (DPF1) derived from native HIV-1 envelope protein gp120-loaded rat hepatocytes, formed fibrils by self-assembly and thus enhanced HIV-1 infection by promoting the binding of HIV-1 to target cells. Furthermore, DPF1-formed fibrils might be used as a crossing seed to accelerate the formation of semen-derived enhancer of virus infection and semenogelin fibrils. It will be helpful to clarify the viral factors that affect HIV-1 infection. DPF1 as an analog of gp120 containing the critical residues for CD4 binding might be useful for designing of HIV vaccines and developing HIV entry inhibitors.
