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

The V3 loop and the bridging sheet domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype B envelope glycoprotein gp120 have been implicated in CCR5 coreceptor utilization. In this study, mutant envelope glycoproteins of a subtype C isolate containing substitutions in the V3 or C4 region were generated to determine which are required for efficient CCR5-dependent cell fusion and viral entry. We found that the V3 crown and C4 residues are relatively dispensable for cell-cell fusion, although some residues may be involved in the regulation of early postentry steps in viral replication. In contrast, seven highly conserved residues located in the V3 stem are critical for CCR5 utilization, which can explain the apparent paradox that the functional convergence in CCR5 usage by genetically divergent HIV-1 strains involves a variable region. The finding that C4 residues do not have a critical role may appear to contradict the current model that bridging sheet residues are involved in the gp120-CCR5 interaction. However, a plausible interpretation is that these C4 residues may have a distinct role in the binding and fusion steps of the gp120-CCR5 interaction.
