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

SERINC5 is a multipass intrinsic membrane protein that suppresses HIV-1 infectivity when incorporated into budding virions. The HIV-1 Nef virulence factor prevents viral incorporation of SERINC5 by triggering its down-regulation from the producer cell membrane through an AP-2-dependent endolysosomal pathway. However, the mechanistic basis for SERINC5 down-regulation by Nef remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that Nef homodimers are important for SERINC5 down-regulation, trafficking to late endosomes, and exclusion from newly synthesized viral particles. Based on previous X-ray crystal structures, we mutated three conserved residues in the Nef dimer interface (Leu
