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

We previously described a T20-dependent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 variant from a patient on T20 therapy. This virus carries two mutations in the gp41 domain of the envelope protein (Env) that was proposed to undergo a premature conformational switch to the 6-helix bundle structure. The T20 peptide can rescue this hyperfusogenic Env protein by preventing the premature switch and preserving an earlier prefusion conformation, thus restoring virus infectivity and replication. In this study, we set out to critically test this mechanistic explanation with alternative effectors that may control the Env switch, including other fusion inhibitors and antibodies that target gp41.
