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

backgroundOver the last decades, a vast structural knowledge has been gathered on the HIV-1 protease (PR). Noticeably, most of the studies focused the B-subtype, which has the highest prevalence in developed countries. Accordingly, currently available anti-HIV drugs target this subtype, with considerable benefits for the corresponding patients.

resultsHerein, we used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the role of this polymorphism on the interaction of PR with six of its natural cleavage-sites substrates.

conclusionsWith multiple approaches and analyses we identified structural and dynamical determinants associated with the changes found in the binding affinity of the M36I variant. This mutation influences the flexibility of both PR and its complexed substrate. The observed impact of M36I, suggest that combination with other non-B subtype polymorphisms, could lead to major effects on the interaction with the 12 known cleavage sites, which should impact the virion maturation.
