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

Sites of HIV/TB coinfection are characterized by increased HIV-1 replication and a TH1 profile. However, expression of HIV-1 restriction factors, such as APOBEC3G (A3G) in situ, is unknown. Using an RT-profiler focused on genes related to HIV-1 expansion, we examined pleural fluid mononuclear cells (PFMCs) from patients with HIV/TB coinfection in comparison to HIV-uninfected patients with TB disease. Significant expression of interferon (IFN)-γ and restriction factors A3G and A3F and TRIM5α in PFMCs was found. Genes correlating significantly with the expression of IFN-γ included A3G and A3F. However, pleural fluid HIV-1 viral load and HIV-1 gag/pol mRNA in PFMCs did not correlate with A3G activity.
