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

HIV-1 entry into cells is mediated by the fusion protein gp41. Cholesterol plays an important role in this virus-cell fusion, but molecular structural information about cholesterol-gp41 interaction is so far absent. Here, we present experimental and computational data about cholesterol complexation with gp41 in lipid bilayers. We focus on the C-terminal region of the protein, which comprises a membrane-proximal external region (MPER) and the transmembrane domain (TMD). We measured peptide-cholesterol contacts in virus-mimetic lipid bilayers using solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and augmented these experimental data with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. 2D
