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

objectiveSeveral nonnucleoside (e.g. Y181C) and nucleoside (e.g. L74V and M184V) resistance mutations in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase are antagonistic toward thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs) that confer zidovudine (ZDV) resistance. The N348I mutation in the connection domain of reverse transcriptase also confers ZDV resistance; however, the mechanisms involved are different from TAMs. In this study, we examined whether N348I compensates for the antagonism of the TAM K70R by Y181C, L74V and M184V. DESIGN AND

methodsThe ZDV monophosphate and ribonuclease H activities of recombinant-purified HIV-1 reverse transcriptase-containing combinations of K70R, N348I and Y181C, L74V or M184V were assessed using standard biochemical and antiviral assays.

resultsAs expected, the introduction of the Y181C, L74V or M184V mutations into K70R HIV-1 reverse transcriptase significantly diminished the ATP-mediated ZDV monophosphate excision activity of the enzyme. However, the N348I mutation compensated for this antagonism on RNA/DNA template/primers by significantly decreasing the frequency of secondary ribonuclease H cleavages that reduce the overall efficiency of the excision reaction.

conclusionThe acquisition of N348I in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase - which can occur early in therapy, oftentimes before TAMs - may provide a simple genetic pathway that allows the virus to select both TAMs and mutations that are antagonistic toward TAMs.
