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

objectiveTo evaluate whether cervicovaginal secretions inhibit HIV-1 infectivity in an in vitro model, and estimate concentration of immune mediators. STUDY

designWe enrolled midtrimester pregnant and regularly menstruating (nonpregnant) women. Cervicovaginal lavage was collected at 2 visits and incubated with HIV-1 and TZM-bl cells. Infectivity was compared with positive controls. Concentrations of immune mediators were compared between groups.

resultsAt enrollment, cervicovaginal lavage inhibited IIIB virus 88.2% and 82.4%, and BaL virus 72.8% and 77.9%, among pregnant (n = 13) and nonpregnant women (n = 9), respectively. At second visit, cervicovaginal lavage inhibited IIIB 89.7% and 82.5%, and BaL 77.4% and 69.9% among pregnant (n = 15) and nonpregnant women (n = 8), respectively (all P ≤ .04). Adjusting for body mass index, race, and protein content of cervicovaginal lavage, antimicrobials were suppressed but cytokines and chemokines were not markedly different in pregnancy.

conclusionCervicovaginal secretions significantly suppress HIV-1 infectivity in this model. Concentrations of certain immune mediators are altered in pregnancy.
