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

RNA interference is not only very promising in identifying new targets for drug development, siRNA/shRNA themselves may be directly used as therapeutic agents. In inhibiting viral infections by RNA interference, both viral targets and cellular proteins have been evaluated. Most of the early studies in this field had chosen viral targets for RNA interference. However, recent efforts are mainly focusing on cellular proteins for RNA silencing due to the realization that a variety of viral responses substantially minimize siRNA effects. With the application of siRNA approaching, many new cellular targets relevant to HIV infection have been identified. The value of siRNA/shRNA in the treatment of AIDS is largely dependent on better understanding of the biology of HIV replication. Efforts in the identification of cellular processes with the employment of siRNA/shRNA have shed some new lights on our understanding of how HIV infection occurs. Furthermore, the relative specific effects and simplicity of design makes siRNA/shRNA themselves to be favorable drug leads.
