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

Binding of the host protein cyclophilin A (CypA) to the HIV-1 capsid exerts a variety of effects on infection, including enhancement of reverse transcription, stabilization of the capsid, and promotion of nuclear entry. For several HIV-1 mutants, CypA binding inhibits nuclear entry by an unknown mechanism. We recently demonstrated that HIV-1 cores are elastic and that HIV-1 mutants with inelastic capsids are impaired for nuclear entry and infection of nondividing cells. Here we show that CypA prevents infection of nondividing cells by such mutants and inhibits their entry into the nucleus. CypA binding to mutant cores further reduced their elasticity
