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

Even before the partial success of a preventive HIV vaccine in a recent Phase III clinical trial, there had been an active research effort to determine one or more immune correlates of protection for HIV infection. This effort has been hampered by the lack of natural protective immunity against HIV. As a result, most of the studies have focused on long-term non-progressive infection or other clinical situations, none of which fully recapitulates protective immunity against HIV. Although this effort has been successful in defining characteristics of T cells in acute and non-progressive HIV infection, and has therefore greatly expanded our knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of AIDS, its success in defining immune correlates of protection is less clear. In this Opinion article we offer a perspective on how successful this effort has been in defining immune correlates of protection that have been, or will be, of use in the development of an HIV vaccine. Our view is that investing in an iterative approach to human vaccine efficacy trials of sufficient size and sampling frequency will improve the likelihood that an immune correlate of vaccine protection will be defined.
