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 is a lentivirus characterized by its cone shaped mature core. Visualization and structural examination of HIV requires the purification of virions to high concentrations. The yield and integrity of these virions are crucial for ensuring a uniform representation of all viral particles in subsequent analyses. In this study, we present a method for the purification of HIV virions which minimizes the forces applied to virions while maximizing the efficiency of collection. This method, which relies on virion sedimentation simulations, allows us to capture between 1000 and 5000 HIV virions released from individual HEK293 cells after transfection with the NL4.3 HIV backbone. We utilized this approach to investigate HIV core formation from several constructs: pNL4-3(RT:D
