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

Although the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) contains four potential binding sites for the octamer-binding protein, Oct-1, which is known to interact with the HIV-1 Tat protein, the effect of the Oct-1 factor on HIV LTR-driven gene expression has not previously been reported. We show here that both Oct-1, and to a lesser extent the related Oct-2 protein, can repress both the basal activity of the HIV-1 LTR and its transactivation by Tat. These effects are still observed with an HIV LTR construct containing only a single octamer-binding site located between the TATA box and the transcriptional start site. The stronger inhibitory effect of Oct-1 on both these promoters is dependent upon its C-terminal region which cannot be effectively replaced by the equivalent region of Oct-2. These effects are discussed in terms of the regulation of HIV LTR activity in different cell types and in response to T-cell activation.
