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

Crystallographic characterization of a ternary complex containing a monomeric gp120 core, parts of CD4, and a mAb, revealed a region that bridges the inner and outer domains of gp120. In a related genetic study, several residues conserved among primate lentiviruses were found to play important roles in CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) coreceptor utilization, and all but one were mapped to the bridging domain. To reconcile this finding with previous reports that the hypervariable region 3 (V3) of gp120 plays an important role in chemokine coreceptor utilization, elucidating the roles of various V3 residues in this critical part of the HIV type 1 (HIV-1) life cycle is essential. Alanine-scanning mutagenesis was carried out to identify V3 residues critical for CCR5 utilization. Our findings demonstrated that several residues in V3 were critical to CCR5 utilization. Furthermore, these residues included not only those conserved across HIV-1 subtypes, but also those that varied among HIV-1 subtypes. Although the highly conserved V3 residues may represent unique targets for antiviral designs, the involvement of variable residues raises the possibility that antigenic variation in the coreceptor binding domain could further complicate HIV-1 vaccine design.
