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

This study evaluated correlation and agreement between version 3 of the Quantiplex human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA assay (v3 branched DNA [bDNA]) and a sensitized Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor assay (reverse transcription [RT]-PCR) for the measurement of HIV RNA. Three hundred eighteen samples from 59 randomly selected, HIV-1-seropositive persons on various drug protocols from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases HIV outpatient clinic were studied. The results indicate that v3 bDNA and RT-PCR are highly correlated (r = 0.98) and are in good agreement (mean difference in log(10) copies/ml +/- 2 standard deviations = 0.072 +/- 0.371). The relationship between values obtained by both assays is given by the following equation: log(10)v3 bDNA = -0.0915 + 1. 0052. log(10)RT-PCR. This represents a 1.026-fold difference between log(10)RT-PCR values and log(10)v3 bDNA values.
