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 viral core transport to the nucleus, an early infection event, triggers cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF)5 and CPSF6 to translocate from paraspeckles to nuclear speckles, forming puncta-like structures. CPSF5 and CPSF6 regulate alternative polyadenylation (APA), which governs approximately 70% of gene expression. APA alters the lengths of mRNA 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs), which contain regulatory signals influencing RNA stability, localization, and function. We investigated whether HIV-1 infection-induced changes in CPSF5 and CPSF6 subcellular localization are accompanied by changes in cellular function. Using two independent methodologies to assess APA in human primary CD4+ T cells and cell lines, we found that HIV-1 infection regulates APA, dependent on the interaction of CPSF6 with the viral capsid, recapitulating the APA phenotype observed in CPSF6 knockout cells. Our study demonstrates that HIV-1 infection leverages the interaction between the viral capsid and CPSF6 to co-opt cellular processes, alter gene expression, and drive pathogenesis.
