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

The mechanism by which human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection in humans leads to the erosion of lean body mass is poorly defined. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine whether transgenic (Tg) rats that constitutively overexpress HIV-1 viral proteins exhibit muscle wasting and to elucidate putative mechanisms. Over 7 mo, Tg rats gained less body weight than pair-fed controls exclusively as a result of a proportional reduction in lean, not fat, mass. Fast- and slow-twitch muscle atrophy in Tg rats did not result from a reduction in the in vivo-determined rate of protein synthesis. In contrast, urinary excretion of 3-methylhistidine, as well as the content of atrogin-1 and the 14-kDa actin fragment, was elevated in gastrocnemius of Tg rats, suggesting increased muscle proteolysis. Similarly, Tg rats had reduced cardiac mass, which was independent of a change in protein synthesis. This decreased cardiac mass was associated with a reduction in stroke volume, but cardiac output was maintained by a compensatory increase in heart rate. The HIV-induced muscle atrophy was associated with increased whole body energy expenditure, which was not due to an elevated body temperature or secondary bacterial infection. Furthermore, the atrophic response could not be attributed to the development of insulin resistance, decreased levels of circulating amino acids, or increased tissue cytokines. However, skeletal muscle and, to a lesser extent, circulating insulin-like growth factor I was reduced in Tg rats. Although hepatic injury was implicated by increased plasma levels of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, hepatic protein synthesis was not different between control and Tg rats. Hence, HIV-1 Tg rats develop atrophy of cardiac and skeletal muscle, the latter of which results primarily from an increased protein degradation and may be related to the marked reduction in muscle insulin-like growth factor I.
