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

To study the structure relationship of different Tat domains, the full-length Tat protein Tat1-86, the gene product of the first exon Tat1-72 which retains full activity of the protein, and a panel of shorter peptides mimicking different regions of the primary structure of the Tat protein were chemically synthesized by the solid-phase method, using an efficient protocol. Synthetic Tat1-86 and Tat1-72 transactivated beta-galactosidase activity in HeLa cells containing the lacZ gene under the control of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 long terminal repeat. Analyses of the activity of Tat1-86 and Tat1-72 with the sulfhydryl of cysteine residues free or protected by the acetamidomethyl group showed that only the Tat fragments with deprotected cysteine residues retain transactivation ability. In contrast, peptide Tat1-48 was inactive, with cysteine residues either free or protected. Similarly, other shorter synthetic peptides covering the different Tat domains were inactive. Interestingly, when peptides Tat1-48 and Tat38-60 were used simultaneously, a significant transactivation was obtained. This result suggests that both peptide domains are implicated in transactivation, probably by acting at two different sites. This permits us to propose a fundamentally new step in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of Tat transactivation.
