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

Three of six morphine-dependent monkeys progressed rapidly to AIDS and died by 20 weeks in our SIV/SHIV non-human primate model of drug addiction and AIDS. We studied the evolution of the SIV vpr gene in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in these rapid progressors, in their normal progressor counterparts and in infected, drug-free controls at 12 and 20 weeks post infection. Viral RNA was amplified, cloned, and sequenced to permit phylogenetic analyses of diversity and divergence of the vpr locus. As we found for SIV tat and env, the vpr gene evolves inversely to the rate of disease progression. Further, we found evidence that compartmentalization of the virus in plasma and CSF is significantly greater in the normal progressors than in the morphine-dependent, rapid progressors. Interestingly, although our previous work with the accessory gene nef indicated no association between disease progression and evolution, the accessory factor, vpr, behaves similarly to the essential lentiviral genes tat and env.
