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

backgroundCCR5 and CXCR4 are the two membrane-standing proteins that, along with CD4, facilitate entry of HIV particles into the host cell. HIV strains differ in their ability to utilize either CCR5 or CXCR4, and this specificity, also known as viral tropism, is largely determined by the sequence of the V3 loop of the viral envelope protein gp120.

resultsWith statistical and docking approaches we have computationally analyzed binding preferences of CCR5 and CXCR4 to both V3 loop sequences of virus strains of different tropism and endogenous ligands.

conclusionsWe conclude that the tropism cannot be satisfactorily explained by amino-acid interactions alone, and suggest a two-step mechanism, by which initial coreceptor selection and approach of the ligand to the binding pocket is dominated by charge and glycosylation pattern of the viral envelope.
