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

In addition to immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can cause cognitive impairment and dementia through direct infection of the brain. To investigate the adaptive process and timing of HIV-1 entry into the central nervous system, we carried out an extensive genetic characterization of variants amplified from different regions of the brain and determined their relatedness to those in lymphoid tissue. HIV-1 genomes infecting different regions of the brain of one study subject with HIV encephalitis (HIVE) had a mosaic structure, being assembled from different combinations of evolutionarily distinct lineages in p17(gag), pol, individual hypervariable regions of gp120 (V1/V2, V3, V4, and V5), and gp41/nef. Similar discordant phylogenetic relationships were observed between p17(gag) and V3 sequences of brain and lymphoid tissue from three other individuals with HIVE. The observation that different parts of the genome of HIV infecting a particular tissue can have different evolutionary histories necessarily limits the conclusions that can be drawn from previous studies of the compartmentalization of distinct HIV populations in different tissues, as these have been generally restricted to sequence comparisons of single subgenomic regions. The complexity of viral populations in the brain produced by recombination could provide a powerful adaptive mechanism for the spread of virus with new phenotypes, such as antiviral resistance or escape from cytotoxic T-cell recognition into existing tissue-adapted virus populations.
