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

Deciphering the complex interactions between human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV/SIV) and their host cells is crucial to the development of improved therapies and vaccines. Investigating these relationships has been complicated by the inability to directly analyze infected cells among freshly isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes. Here, we describe a method to detect cells productively infected with SIVmac239 ex vivo from the blood or lymph nodes by flow cytometry. Using this method, we show a close correlation between the frequency of productively infected cells in both sample type and the plasma viral load. We define that the minimum threshold for detecting productively infected cells in lymph nodes by flow cytometry requires a plasma virus concentration of ∼2.5 × 10(4) vRNA copy Equivalents (Eq)/ml. Conversely, an approximately 2 logs higher plasma viral load is needed to detect productively infected cells in the peripheral blood. This novel protocol provides a direct analytical tool to assess interactions between SIV and host cells, which is of key importance to investigators in AIDS research.
