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

We used high-resolution phylogenetic methods in the context of mother-to-child transmission to obtain information on the timing of the infection and on the transmission network. A total of 33 pol sequences (from maternal peripheral blood, from breast milk, and from plasma of children) belonging to five cases of HIV infant transmission were studied. Using time-scaled phylogeny we were able to estimate that in two cases the transmission occurred after the recommended duration of breastfeeding, supporting a longer, not reported, duration of breastfeeding as a significant factor associated with HIV infant acquisition in this cohort. Among the postnatal infections we were also able to demonstrate that the cell-free virus in breast milk was the most likely population associated with the event of transmission. Our study showed that a coalescent-based model within a Bayesian statistical framework can provide important information that can contribute to optimizing preventive strategies.
