Nef enhances HIV-1 replication and infectivity independently of SERINC5 in CEM T cells.
Article in Virology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
A primary function of HIV-1 Nef is the enhancement of viral infectivity and replication. Whether counteraction of the antiretroviral proteins SERINC3 and SERINC5 is the cause of this positive influence on viral growth-rate and infectivity remains unclear. Here, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout SERINC3 and SERINC5 in a leukemic CD4-positive T cell line (CEM) that displays nef-related infectivity and growth-rate phenotypes. Viral replication was attenuated in CEM cells infected with HIV-1 lacking Nef (HIV-1ΔNef). This attenuated growth-rate phenotype was observed regardless of whether the coding regions of the serinc3 or serinc5 genes were intact. Moreover, knockout of serinc5 alone or of both serinc5 and serinc3 together failed to restore the infectivity of HIV1ΔNef virions produced from infected CEM cells. Our results corroborate a similar study using another T-lymphoid cell line (MOLT-3) and indicate that the antagonism of SERINC3 and SERINC5 does not fully explain the virology of HIV-1 lacking Nef.
