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

Macrophages represent an important viral reservoir in HIV-1-infected individuals. Different from T cells, HIV-1 assembly in macrophages occurs at intracellular compartments termed virus-containing compartments (VCCs). Our previous research in HeLa cells - in which assembly resembles that found in infected T cells - suggested that late endosomes/lysosomes (LELs) play a role in HIV-1 trafficking towards its assembly sites. However, the role of LELs during assembly at VCCs is not fully understood. Herein, we used the HIV-1-inducible cell line THP-1 GagZip as a model to study HIV-1 Gag intracellular trafficking and assembly in macrophages. We demonstrated LEL involvement at VCCs using various microscopy techniques and biochemical approaches. Live-cell imaging revealed that HIV-1 repositions LELs towards the plasma membrane and modulates their motility. We showed that Arl8b-mediated LEL repositioning is not responsible for Gag trafficking to VCCs. Additionally, the inhibition of myristoylation by PCLX-001 decreased the presence of Gag on endosomes and inhibited VCC formation in both the THP-1 cell line and primary macrophages. In conclusion, we present evidence supporting the idea that HIV-1 manipulates the LEL trajectory to guide Gag to VCCs in an N-myristoylation-dependent manner.
