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

Single-cell clones derived from the U-937 monocytic cell line were studied for susceptibility to infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Of four such clones, we found that three (UC12, UC14, and UC18) supported replication of HIV-1 more efficiently than parental U-937 cells, as measured by reverse transcriptase activity and p24 core antigen production. In contrast, another clone (UC11) showed only baseline infection throughout an 8-week culture period, before finally becoming positive for expression of viral antigen. This differential susceptibility to infection directly correlated with accumulation of intracellular viral DNA. Furthermore, the UC11 clone expressed lower levels of Sendai virus-inducible tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA than did the UC12 or UC18 clones. Susceptibility to infection did not correlate with expression of cell surface CD4, since all clones expressed similar levels of CD4 mRNA and surface membrane CD4 protein. Prior exposure of both susceptible UC18 and resistant UC11 clones to Leu3a antibody completely blocked infection by HIV-1, suggesting that no other independent receptors were recognized by the virus.
