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

Systematic sequence analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants with RNA levels underestimated by the Cobas TaqMan HIV-1 assay demonstrated that mutations at a single position of the downstream primer can lead to the underestimation of HIV-1 RNA levels by more than 2 log and to false-negative results in minipool screening of blood donors. Mutations at this position are found in about 2% of all HIV-1 M gag sequences.
