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 lack of animal models of HIV-related pulmonary arterial hypertension (HIV-PAH) severely limits investigation of this serious disease. While histological evidence of HIV-PAH has been demonstrated in macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) as well as with chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) containing HIV-1-derived Nef protein, other primate models have not been studied. The objective was to document and describe the development of pulmonary vascular changes in macaques infected with SIV or with SIV containing HIV-1-derived envelope protein (SHIV-env). Lung tissue was obtained at necropsy from 13 SHIV (89.6P)-env-infected macaques and 10 SIV (ΔB670)-infected macaques. Pulmonary arterial pathology, including arterial hyperplasia and the presence of plexiform lesions, was compared to normal monkey lung. Pulmonary artery hyperplasia was present in 8 of 13 (62%) SHIV-env-infected macaques and 4/10 (36%) SIV-infected macaques. The most common histopathological lesions were intimal and medial hyperplasia of medium and large pulmonary arteries. Hyperplastic lesions were predominantly due to smooth muscle cell hyperplasia. This is the first report of pulmonary vascular lesions in SHIV-env-infected macaques and confirms prior reports of pulmonary vasculopathy in SIV-infected macaques. The finding of pulmonary arteriopathy in monkeys infected with SHIV not containing HIV-nef suggests that other factors might also be important in the development of HIV-PAH. This SHIV-env model provides a new means to investigate HIV-PAH.
