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

Stavudine (d4T) and zidovudine (AZT) are thymidine analogs widely used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected persons. Resistance to d4T is not fully understood, although the selection of AZT resistance mutations in patients treated with d4T suggests that both drugs have similar pathways of resistance. Through the analysis of genotypic changes in nine recombinant viruses cultured with d4T, we identified a new pathway for d4T resistance mediated by K65R, a mutation not selected by AZT. Passaged viruses were derived from treatment-naïve persons or HIV-1(HXB2) and had wild-type reverse transcriptase (RT) or T215C/D mutations. K65R was selected in seven viruses and was associated with a high level of enzymatic resistance to d4T-triphosphate (median, 16-fold; range, 5- to 48-fold). The role of K65R in d4T resistance was confirmed in site-directed mutants generated in three different RT backgrounds. Phenotypic assays based on recombinant single-cycle replication or a whole-virus multiple replication cycle were unable to detect d4T resistance in d4T-selected mutants with K65R but detected cross-resistance to other nucleoside RT inhibitors. Four of the six viruses that had 215C/D mutations at baseline acquired the 215Y mutation alone or in association with K65R. Mutants having K65R and T215Y replicated less efficiently than viruses that had T215Y only, suggesting that selection of T215Y in patients treated with d4T may be favored. Our results demonstrate that K65R plays a role in d4T resistance and indicate that resistance pathways for d4T and AZT may not be identical. Biochemical analysis and improved replication assays are both required for a full phenotypic characterization of resistance to d4T. These findings highlight the complexity of the genetic pathways of d4T resistance and its phenotypic expression.
