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

HIV can infiltrate the brain and lead to HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). The pathophysiology of HAND is poorly understood, and there are no diagnostic biomarkers for it. Previously, an increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase levels and protein tyrosine nitration in the brain were found to correlate with the severity of HAND.1,2 In this study, we analyzed human brains from individuals who had HIV infection without encephalitis and with encephalitis/HAND and compared them to the brains of healthy individuals. We identified the nitrated proteins and determined the sites of modification using affinity enrichment followed by high-resolution and high-mass-accuracy nanoLC-MS/MS. We found that nitrated proteins were predominantly present in the HIV-infected individuals with encephalitis, and, interestingly, the modifications were predominantly located on immunoglobulin variable regions. Our molecular model indicated potential interactions with HIV envelope proteins and changes on the heavy and light chain interface upon the nitration and nitrohydroxylation of these residues. Therefore, our findings suggest a role for these modifications in the immune response, which may have implications in disease pathogenesis.
