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

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in sub-Saharan Africa represent about 56% of global infections. Study of active-site mutations (the V82A single mutation and the V82F I84V double mutation) in the less-studied South African HIV type 1 subtype C (C-SA) protease indicated that neither mutation had a significant impact on the proteolytic functioning of the protease. However, the binding affinities of, and inhibition by, saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, and nelfinavir were weaker for each variant than for the wild-type protease, with the double mutant exhibiting the most dramatic change. Therefore, our results show that the C-SA V82F I84V double mutation decreased the binding affinities of protease inhibitors to levels significantly lower than that required for effective inhibition.
