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

Drug-resistant variants of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) are also known to be resistant to anti-RT RNA aptamers. In order to be able to develop diagnostics and therapies that can focus on otherwise drug-resistant viruses, we have isolated two aptamers against a well-known, drug-resistant HIV-1 RT, Mutant 3 (M3) from the multidrug-resistant HIV-1 RT panel. One aptamer, M302, bound M3 but showed no significant affinity for wild-type (WT) HIV-1 RT, while another aptamer, 12.01, bound to both M3 and WT HIV-1 RTs. In contrast to all previously selected anti-RT aptamers, neither of these aptamers showed observable inhibition of either polymerase or RNase H activities. Aptamers M302 and 12.01 competed with one another for binding to M3, but they did not compete with a pseudoknot aptamer for binding to the template/primer cleft of WT HIV-1 RT. These results represent the surprising identification of an additional RNA-binding epitope on the surface of HIV-1 RT. M3 and WT HIV-1 RTs could be distinguished using an aptamer-based microarray. By probing protein conformation as a correlate to drug resistance we introduce an additional and useful measure for determining HIV-1 drug resistance.
