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 only clinically validated assay available to determine HIV tropism is Trofile, an assay that possesses some limitations. Our first aim was to develop a new phenotypic tropism test (TROCAI [tropism coreceptor assay information]) and to categorize results generated by this test according to the virological response to a short-term exposure to the CCR5 receptor antagonist maraviroc (maraviroc clinical test). Our second aim was to compare TROCAI results to those obtained by Trofile enhanced sensitivity (ES) and to different genotypic algorithms. TROCAI assayed HIV tropism in 33 HIV-infected patient viral isolates obtained from a modified coculture, followed by multiple infection cycles of indicator cells. TROCAI obtained a reportable result in all patients with viral loads of >500 HIV RNA copies/ml and in 3/6 patients with <500 HIV RNA copies/ml (30/33 patients, 91.9%). Patients who responded to maraviroc had an X4-using virus proportion in indicator cell supernatant of 0 to 0.41%. Hence, we used the threshold of 0.5% to categorize TROCAI results as R5 (<0.5%) or dual/mixed (>0.5%). The concordance between TROCAI and Trofile (ES) was 22/24 (91.6%), and with genotypic approaches it was 22/26 (84.6%). TROCAI results, which were categorized in this study by the maraviroc clinical test, could be used as a test in addition to those currently used to select patients for treatment with CCR5 antagonists.
