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

Current therapeutic intervention in HIV infection relies upon 20 different drugs. Despite the impressive efficacy shown by these drugs, we are confronted with an unexpected frequency of adverse effects, such as mitochondrial toxicity and lipodystrophy, and resistance, not only to individual drugs but to entire drug classes.Thus, there is now a great need for new antiretroviral drugs with reduced toxicity, increased activity against drug-resistant viruses and a greater capacity to reach tissue sanctuaries of the virus. Two different HIV molecules have been selected as targets of drug inhibition so far: reverse transcriptase and protease. Drugs that target the interactions between the HIV envelope and the cellular receptor complex are a 'new entry' into the scenario of HIV therapy and have recently raised great interest because of their activity against multidrug-resistant viruses. There are several compounds that are at different developmental stages in the pipeline to counter HIV entry, among them: (i) the attachment inhibitor dextrin-2-sulfate; (ii) the inhibitors of the glycoprotein (gp) 120/CD4 interaction PRO 542, TNX 355 and BMS 488043; (iii) the co-receptor inhibitors subdivided in those targeting CCR5 (SCH 417690 [SCH D], UK 427857 GW 873140, PRO 140, TAK 220, AMD 887) and those targeting CXCR4 (AMD 070, KRH 2731); and (iv) the fusion inhibitors enfuvirtide (T-20) and tifuvirtide (T-1249). The story of the first of these drugs, enfuvirtide, which has successfully completed phase III clinical trials, has been approved by the US FDA and by the European Medicines Agency, and is now commercially available worldwide, is an example of how the knowledge of basic molecular mechanisms can rapidly translate into the development of clinically effective molecules.
