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

We generated four HIV-1 cultures that are resistant to a peptide fusion inhibitor corresponding to the first heptad repeat of gp41 in order to study mechanisms of resistance and gain insights into envelope glycoprotein-mediated membrane fusion. Two genetic pathways emerged that were defined by acquisition of a specific mutation in either the first or second heptad repeat region of gp41 (HR1 or the HR2, respectively). Each pathway was enriched in mutations that clustered in either HR2 and V3 or in HR1 and residues in or near CD4 contact sites. The gp41 mutations in both pathways not only accounted for resistance to the selecting HR1 peptide but also conferred cross-resistance to HR2 peptide fusion inhibitors and enhanced the stability of the six-helix bundle formed by the self-assembly of HR1 and HR2. The gp120 mutations alone enhanced fusion but did not appear to directly contribute to resistance. The implications of these findings for resistance mechanisms and regulation of envelope-mediated fusion are discussed.
