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

backgroundFoamy viruses (FVs), a unique class of retroviruses, establish lifelong latent infections in the host without causing symptoms, contributing to the relatively slow progress in FV research. However, key mutations in FVs can result in severe consequences due to their broad cellular tropism, underscoring the importance of studying latent FV infections.

resultsTo identify new host proteins involved in the replication of prototype foamy virus (PFV), we previously infected the human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080 with PFV and performed transcriptomic sequencing. The analysis revealed a significant upregulation of SAP30 mRNA levels following PFV infection. Further experiments demonstrated that PFV infection enhances SAP30 promoter activity via the Tas protein, leading to increased SAP30 mRNA and protein expression. Overexpression of SAP30 inhibited PFV replication, whereas knockdown of endogenous SAP30 enhanced PFV replication. Furthermore, SAP30 interacted with the Tas protein to induce its deacetylation, thereby suppressing Tas-mediated transactivation of the PFV LTR and IP promoters. The Sin3 interaction domain at the C-terminus of SAP30 was identified as the critical domain for inhibiting PFV transcription.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that SAP30 inhibits PFV replication by deacetylating the Tas protein, thereby disrupting its transcriptional activation function. KEY WORDS: prototype foamy virus; SAP30; Tas; transcription; deacetylation.
