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

Multiple subtypes were found to be epidemic in the Shenzhen men who have sex with men (MSM) population, which always predicts the emergence of a unique recombinant. In 2012, CRF55_01B was first reported, which later was proven to have originated in MSM in Shenzhen city. In this study, we reported a unique recombinant form (URF) of HIV-1 identified in a man who has had sex with men in Shenzhen city. The strain showed a genomic schematic map similar to CRF55_01B with subtype C segments inserted in the gag and pol genes. The full-length genome was amplified in two halves with 1-kb overlap regions. The PCR products were cloned and sequenced. A recombination detection program showed that two subtype C fragments and two subtype B fragments were inserted into the CRF01_AE backbone genome in the gag and pol regions. In the phylogenetic tree, the subtype C fragments clustered with CRF07_BC variants and the other segments grouped with CRF55_01B strains except for one segment that clustered with CRF01_AE. Similar breakpoints between our strain and CRF65_cpx were also observed. The data suggested that the URF strain might be the recombinant form of CRF55_01B, CRF01_AE, and CRF07_BC. This is the first report of a third generation of recombination of HIV-1 that originated from CRF55_01B in China. The identification of the URF indicated the severity of the HIV epidemic in Shenzhen MSM and the urgent need for epidemiological surveillance of the new recombination.
