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

MRS has often been used to study metabolic processes in the HIV-infected brain. However, it remains unclear how changes in individual metabolites are related to one another in this context of virus-induced central nervous system dysfunction. We used factor analysis (FA) to identify patterns of metabolite distributions from an MRS study of healthy macaques and those infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) which were moribund with AIDS. FA summarized the correlations from nine metabolites into three main factors. Factor 3 identified patterns that discern healthy animals from those with SIV/AIDS. Factor 2 was able to differentiate between animals that had encephalitis and those moribund with AIDS but lacking encephalitis. Specifically, Factor 2 was able to distinguish animals with moderate to severe encephalitis from animals with mild or no encephalitis as well as uninfected controls. FA not only confirmed the involvement of neuronal metabolites (N-acetylaspartate and glutamate) in disease severity, but also detected changes in creatine and myo-inositol that have not been observed in the SIV macaque model previously. These results suggest that the divergent pathways of N-acetylaspartate and creatine in this disease may enable the commonly reported ratio N-acetylaspartate/creatine to be a more sensitive marker of disease severity.
