A recombinant virus assay using full-length envelope sequences to detect changes in HIV-1 co-receptor usage.
Article in Virus genes, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The clinical management of HIV-1 infection has benefited enormously from molecular characterization of drug resistance as well as determination of the viral phenotype in vitro. HIV-1 infected individuals on HAART are currently monitored for the development of drug resistance variants allowing clinicians to redesign drug regimens. An understanding of the molecular basis of the evolution of drug resistance in vivo allows the improvement of the drugs as well as in vitro evaluation of new antiviral compounds alone or in combination with those currently approved. New findings suggest that viral envelopes could be a target to inhibit infection and replication. Therefore the generation of a recombinant virus assay (RVA) to allow the phenotypic determination of drug resistance against entry inhibitors (EI) is anticipated. We constructed an env-deleted clone of HIV-1 using the molecular clone NL-4.3. PCR amplified complete envelope genes (NL-4.3, BaL, primary envelope-genes) were ligated in vitro with a deletion clone (pNL-deltaK) and PM1-cells, supporting the replication of R5- and X4-tropic viruses, were transfected. Determination of co-receptor usage of the harvested recombinant virus-swarm revealed no difference compared to the molecular clones derived individually from three different patients. These results clearly show that an envelope-based RVA is practicable to monitor HIV-co-receptor usage at a given time point. Furthermore, this assay will allow to monitor resistance development against existing and future entry inhibitors and will aid to improve the management of HIV-therapy.
