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

Transient kinetic studies with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 reverse transcriptase suggest that nucleotide analogs containing the 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy ribose ring structure present in D4T (stavudine) triphosphate are among the most effective alternative substrates. For unclear reasons, however, the corresponding purine nucleoside, 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyguanosine (D4G), was found to be inactive in cell culture. We have found that the previously reported lack of activity of D4G is primarily due to solution instability, and in this report we describe a novel use of a guanosine prodrug approach to stabilize the nucleoside. D4G was modified at the 6 position of the purine ring to contain a cyclopropylamino group yielding the prodrug, cyclo-D4G. An evaluation of cyclo-D4G revealed that the prodrug possessed anti-HIV activity. In addition, cyclo-D4G had increased stability, lipophilicity, and solubility, as well as decreased toxicity relative to D4G, suggesting that further study is warranted.
