Paucity of CD4+ CCR5+ T cells may prevent transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus in natural nonhuman primate hosts by breast-feeding.

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.
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
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) persistence in wild populations of African nonhuman primates (NHPs) may occur through horizontal and vertical transmission. However, the mechanism(s) and timing of the latter type of transmission have not been investigated to date. Here we present the first study of SIV transmissibility by breast-feeding in an African NHP host. Six mandrill dames were infected with plasma containing 300 50% tissue culture infective doses of SIVmnd-1 on the day after delivery. All female mandrills became infected, as demonstrated by both plasma viral loads (VLs) and anti-SIVmnd-1 seroconversion. Neither fever nor lymphadenopathy was observed. At the peak of SIVmnd-1 viral replication (days 7 to 10 postinoculation), plasma VLs were high (8 x 10(6) to 8 x 10(8) RNA copies/ml) and paralleled the high VLs in milk (4.7 x 10(4) to 5.6 x 10(5) RNA/ml). However, at the end of the breast-feeding period, after 6 months of follow-up, no sign of infection was observed for the offspring. Later on, during a 4-year follow-up examination, two of the offspring showed virological evidence of SIVmnd-1 infection. Both animals seroconverted at least 6 months after the interruption of lactation. In conclusion, despite extensive viral replication in mandrill mothers and high levels of free virus in milk, no SIVmnd-1 transmission was detectable at the time of breast-feeding or during the following months. Since we observed a markedly lower expression of CCR5 on the CD4(+) T cells of young mandrills and African green monkeys than on those of adults, we propose that low levels of this viral coreceptor on CD4(+) T cells may be involved in the lack of breast-feeding transmission in natural hosts of SIVs.
