Review in Current HIV/AIDS reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.

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

Worldwide HIV infects women more frequently than men, and it is clear that not all exposed to HIV become infected. Several populations of HIV-exposed uninfected (EU) women have been identified, including discordant couples and sex workers. Understanding what provides natural protection in EU women is critical in vaccine or microbicide development. However, correlates of protection in these women are still unclear. Most studies have used classical methods, examining single genes or cellular factors, a mainstay for traditional immunobiology. This reductionist approach may be limited in the information it can provide. Novel technologies are now available that allow us to take a "systems biology" approach, which allows the study of a complex biological system and identifies factors that may provide protection against HIV infection. Herein we report developments in discovery-based systems biology approaches in EU women and how this broadens our understanding of natural protection against HIV-1.
