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 low solubility and aggregation properties of HIV-1 integrase (IN) are major obstacles for biochemical and structural studies. The lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF) is a cellular factor that binds IN and tethers preintegration complexes to chromatin before integration. The LEDGF also stimulates HIV-1 IN DNA strand transfer activity and improves its solubility in vitro. We show that these properties are conferred by a short peptide spanning residues 178 to 197 of the LEDGF that encompasses its AT-hook DNA-binding elements. The peptide stimulates HIV-1 IN activity both in trans and in cis. Fusion of the peptide to either the N- or C-terminus of IN results in maximal stimulation of concerted integration activity and greatly improves the solubility of the protein and nucleoprotein complexes of IN with viral DNA ends (intasomes). High-resolution structures of HIV-1 intasomes are required to understand the mechanism of IN strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), which are front-line drugs for the treatment of HIV-1, and how the virus can develop resistance to INSTIs. We have previously determined the structure of the HIV-1 strand transfer complex intasome. The improved biophysical properties of intasomes assembled with LEDGF peptide fusion IN have enabled us to determine the structure of the cleaved synaptic complex intasome, which is the direct target of INSTIs.
