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 CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio is altered when HIV-1 infects the human immune system. However, the exact mechanisms of how CD4+ and CD8+T cells participate in HIV infection are still unknown. This study used bioinformatics methods to compare the transcriptional profiles between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in HIV-1-infected patients in order to explore the potential molecular mechanisms of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in HIV-1 infection. We found that expression patterns of differentially expressed genes (DEG) in CD4+T cells were dramatically different from those in CD8+ T cells. We also constructed protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks to extract functional modules at each stage, and found that some of the important genes such as BRCA1 were central hubs of the modules. Finally, we applied functional annotation to the modules and found that CD4+/CD8+ T cells played critical roles in regulating the cell cycle and other cellular pathways. Thus, this study would greatly further our understanding of the roles of T cells in HIV infection, and provide potential clues for developing AIDS vaccines in the future.
