Impact of Caveolin-Mediated Endocytosis on the Trafficking of HIV within the Colonic Barrier.
Article in Journal of virology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In the United States, most new cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) belong to the at-risk group of gay and bisexual men. Developing therapies to reverse viral latency and prevent spread is paramount for the HIV cure agenda. In gay and bisexual men, a major, yet poorly characterized, route of HIV entry is via transport across the colonic epithelial barrier. While colonic tears and paracellular transport contribute to infection, we hypothesize that HIV entry through the colonic mucosa proceeds via a process known as transcytosis, involving (i) virion binding to the apical surface of the colonic epithelium, (ii) viral endocytosis, (iii) transport of virions across the cell, and (iv) HIV release from the basolateral membrane. Using Caco-2 colonic epithelial cells plated as a polarized monolayer in transwells, we characterized the mechanism of HIV transport. After exposing the monolayer to HIV apically, reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) of the viral genome present in the basolateral chamber revealed that transport is dose dependent, cooperative, and inefficient, with released virus first detectable at 12 h. Inefficiency may be associated with >50% decline in detectable intracellular virus that correlates temporally with increased association of the virion with lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP-1+) endosomes. Microscopy revealed green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled HIV within the confines of the epithelial monolayer, with no virus detectable between cells, suggesting that viral transport is transcellular. Treatment of the monolayer with endocytosis inhibitors, cholesterol reducing agents, and small interfering RNA (siRNA) to caveolin showed that viral endocytosis is mediated by caveolin-coated endosomes contained in lipid rafts. These results indicate that HIV transport across the intestinal epithelial barrier via transcytosis is a viable mechanism for viral spread and a potential therapeutic target.
