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

The V3 region of the HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoprotein gp120 is a key functional domain yet it exhibits distinct mutational patterns across subtypes. Here an invariant residue (Ile 309) was replaced with Leu in 7 subtype C patient-derived Envs from recent infection and 4 related neutralizing antibody escape variants that emerged later. For these 11 Envs, I309L did not alter replication in primary CD4 T cells; however, replication in monocyte-derived macrophages was enhanced. Infection of cell lines with low CD4 or CCR5 revealed that I309L enhanced utilization of CD4 but did not affect the ability to use CCR5. This CD4-enhanced phenotype tracked with sensitivity to sCD4, indicating increased exposure of the CD4 binding site. The results suggest that Ile 309 preserves a V3-mediated masking function that occludes the CD4 binding site. The findings point to an immune evasion strategy in subtype C Env to protect this vulnerable immune target.
