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

SAMHD1 is a dNTP triphosphohydrolase (dNTPase) that impairs retroviral replication in a subset of non-cycling immune cells. Here we show that SAMHD1 is a redox-sensitive enzyme and identify three redox-active cysteines within the protein: C341, C350, and C522. The three cysteines reside near one another and the allosteric nucleotide binding site. Mutations C341S and C522S abolish the ability of SAMHD1 to restrict HIV replication, whereas the C350S mutant remains restriction competent. The C522S mutation makes the protein resistant to inhibition by hydrogen peroxide but has no effect on the tetramerization-dependent dNTPase activity of SAMHD1 in vitro or on the ability of SAMHD1 to deplete cellular dNTPs. Our results reveal that enzymatic activation of SAMHD1 via nucleotide-dependent tetramerization is not sufficient for the establishment of the antiviral state and that retroviral restriction depends on the ability of the protein to undergo redox transformations.
