Epigenetics, N-myrystoyltransferase-1 and casein kinase-2-alpha modulates the increased replication of HIV-1 CRF02_AG, compared to subtype-B viruses.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
HIV subtypes distribution varies by geographic regions; this is likely associated with differences in viral fitness but the predictors and underlying mechanisms are unknown. Using in-vitro, in-vivo, and ex-vivo approaches, we found significantly higher transactivation and replication of HIV-1-CRF02_AG (prevalent throughout West-Central Africa), compared to subtype-B. While CRF02_AG-infected animals showed higher viremia, subtype-B-infected animals showed significantly more weight loss, lower CD4+ T-cells and lower CD4/CD8 ratios, suggesting that factors other than viremia contribute to immunosuppression and wasting syndrome in HIV/AIDS. Compared to HIV-1-subtype-B and its Tat proteins(Tat.B), HIV-1-CRF02_AG and Tat.AG significantly increased histone acetyl-transferase activity and promoter histones H3 and H4 acetylation. Silencing N-myrystoyltransferase(NMT)-1 and casein-kinase-(CK)-II-alpha prevented Tat.AG- and HIV-1-CRF02_AG-mediated viral transactivation and replication, but not Tat.B- or HIV-1-subtype-B-mediated effects. Tat.AG and HIV-1-CRF02_AG induced the expression of NMT-1 and CKII-alpha in human monocytes and macrophages, but Tat.B and HIV-1-subtype-B had no effect. These data demonstrate that NMT1, CKII-alpha, histone acetylation and histone acetyl-transferase modulate the increased replication of HIV-1-CRF02_AG. These novel findings demonstrate that HIV genotype influence viral replication and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of differential HIV-1 replication. These studies underline the importance of considering the influence of viral genotypes in HIV/AIDS epidemiology, replication, and eradication strategies.
