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

The HIV-1 capsid protein performs multiple roles in virus replication both during assembly and particle release and during virus trafficking into the nucleus. In order to decipher the roles of capsid protein during early replication, a reliable method to follow its intracellular distribution is required. To complement existing approaches to track HIV-1 capsid during early infection, we developed an HIV-1 imaging strategy, relying on viruses incorporating enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-tagged capsid (CA-eGFP) protein and mCherry-tagged integrase (IN-mCherry). Wild-type infectivity and sensitivity to inhibition by PF74 point to the functionality of CA-eGFP-containing complexes. Low numbers of CA-eGFP molecules were located inside the viral core and imported into the nucleus without significant loss in intensity. Less than 5% of particles carrying both CA-eGFP and IN-mCherry retained both labelled proteins after nuclear entry, implying a major uncoating event at the nuclear envelope dissociating IN and CA. Still, 20% of all CA-eGFP-containing complexes were detected in the nucleus. Unlike for IN-mCherry complexes, addition of the integrase inhibitor raltegravir had no effect on CA-eGFP-containing complexes, suggesting that these may be not (yet) competent for integration. Our imaging strategy offers alternative visualization of viral capsid trafficking and helps clarify its potential role during integration.
