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

Viruses interact with multiple host cell factors. Some of these are required to promote viral propagation, others have roles in inhibiting infection. Here, we delineate the function of the cellular factor PHF13 (or SPOC1), a putative HIV-1 restriction factor. Early in the HIV-1 replication cycle PHF13 increased the number of integrated proviral copies and the number of infected cells. However, after HIV-1 integration, high levels of PHF13 suppressed viral gene expression. The antiviral activity of PHF13 is counteracted by the viral accessory protein Vpr, which mediates PHF13 degradation. Altogether, the transcriptional master regulator and chromatin binding protein PHF13 does not have purely repressive effects on HIV-1 replication, but also promotes viral integration. By the functional characterization of the dual role of PHF13 during the HIV-1 replication cycle, we reveal a surprising and intricate mechanism through which HIV-1 might regulate the switch from integration to viral gene expression. Furthermore, we identify PHF13 as a cellular target specifically degraded by HIV-1 Vpr.
