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 latency is mainly characterized at transcriptional level, and little is known about post-transcriptional mechanisms and their contribution to reactivation. The viral protein Rev controls the nucleocytoplasmic export of unspliced and singly-spliced RNA that is central to proviral replication-competence and is therefore a prerequisite for efficient viral reactivation during the "shock-and-kill" cure therapy. Here we show that during infection and reactivation, unspliced HIV-1 RNA is a subject to complex and dynamic regulation by the Rev cofactor MATR3 and the MTR4 cofactor of the nuclear exosome. MATR3 and MTR4 coexist in the same ribonucleoprotein complex functioning to either maintain or degrade the RNA, respectively, with Rev orchestrating this regulatory switch. Moreover, we provide evidence of nuclear retention of unspliced HIV-1 RNA in ex vivo cultures from 22 ART-treated people with HIV, highlighting a reversible post-transcriptional block to viral RNA nucleocytoplasmic export that is relevant to the design of curative interventions.
