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

Variation of the HIV-1 subtype C reverse transcriptase region (RT) resulting in response to the selective pressures of drug therapy remains poorly characterized. Here, we compared the genetic variation resulting in the presence and absence of antiretroviral drug selective pressures on HIV-1 subtype C RT among nontreated and treated patients. The nucleotide variability, nonsynonymous and synonymous ratio, and the positively selected mutations were determined by comparing the RT sequences isolated at two time points among nontreated (baseline and follow-up) and treated patients (baseline and treatment failure). Compared to the nontreated patients, the intrapatient nucleotide variability, the number of nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions was significantly higher among the treated patients. Among the mutations positively selected, the frequency of D121Y, I135R, and Q207E increased and the frequency of mutation S48T decreased significantly during treatment failure. Further studies are essential to discover the role of these mutations during treatment in HIV-1 subtype C.
