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

Drug resistance is a very important factor contributing to the failure of current HIV therapies. The ability to understand the resistance mechanism of HIV-protease mutants may be useful in developing more effective and longer lasting treatment regimens. In this paper, we report the first computational study of the clinically relevant E35D mutation of HIV-1 protease in its unbound conformation and complexed with the clinical inhibitor amprenavir and a sample substrate (Thr-Ile-Met-Met-Gln-Arg). Our data, collected from 10 ns molecular-dynamics simulations, show that the E35D mutation results in an increased flexibility of the flaps, thereby affecting the conformational equilibrium between the closed and semi-open conformations of the free protease. The E35D mutation also causes a significant reduction of the calculated binding free energies both for substrate and amprenavir, thus giving a plausible explanation for its ability to increase the level of resistance. One possible explanation for the emergence of this mutation, despite its unfavorable effect on substrate affinity, might be the role of E35D as an escape mutation, which favors escape from the immune system in addition to conferring drug resistance.
