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

backgroundInfection and disease induction of variants of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) in vivo, especially their persistence, replication and rate of disease progression, have been found to depend on phenotypic characteristics. However, the mechanism (s) underlying these diverse phenotypic characteristics remain poorly understood.

aimIt was aimed at determining whether a SHIV that had been adapted to a monkey-derived cell line could be used to explain the mechanism that underlies adaptive evolution of a virus to its host cell environment. MATERIALS AND

methodsStandard procedures in virology such as cell culturing, FACS analysis and ELISA were employed to measure virus replication and growth kinetics, cell viability, reverse transcriptase (RT) activity assay and CD4 cells down-regulation.

resultsAfter about 20 passages, LT efficiently adapted to the monkey-derived cell line and replicated much better than the parent virus. LT accumulated a number of mutations in its entire genome with a majority of them being monkey cell-specific.

conclusionThus we think we have obtained a virus that may enable studies to determine which of these mutations are specifically related to in vitro viral replication and which are specifically related to cytotoxicity so as to explain the mechanism associated with viral cytotoxicity and host cell specificity.
