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

Extensive glycosylation and variable loops of the HIV envelope protein (Env) are reported to shield some neutralizing epitopes. Here, we investigated the immunogenicity of mutated HIV Envs presented in virus-like particles (VLPs). We immunized mice with simian human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) VLPs containing mutant HIV Env with reduced glycosylation (3G), variable loop-deleted mutations (dV1V2), or combinations of both types of mutations (3G-dV2-1G), and evaluated immune responses. Immune sera from mice that received VLPs with modified HIV Envs (3G or dV1V2) showed higher neutralizing activities against the homologous HIV 89.6 virus as well as heterologous viruses when compared with wild type SHIV VLP-immunized mice. Lymphocytes from immunized mice produced HIV Env-specific cytokines, with the 3G-dV2-1G mutant producing high levels of cytokines. Interestingly, both dendritic cells and B cells were found to interact with VLPs suggesting that VLPs are effective immunogens. Therefore, this study suggests that VLPs containing modified HIV Env have the potential to be developed as candidate vaccines capable of inducing cellular and humoral immune responses including neutralizing activities.
