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

The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is not fully understood. Immune mechanisms provide a partial explanation but fail to account for a lack of compensatory megakaryocytosis, the rapid reversal after treatment with azidothymidine, and the ultrastructural aberrations seen in the megakaryocytes of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Therefore, a direct effect of HIV on megakaryocytes was investigated. The bone marrow of HIV seropositive individuals was analyzed ultrastructurally, and the megakaryocytes of 10 thrombocytopenic patients were subjected to in situ hybridization with a HIV RNA probe. The structural aberrations in HIV megakaryocytes were distinct from those in HIV-negative immune thrombocytopenias, and the megakaryocytes of 10 of 10 patients examined by in situ hybridization unambiguously expressed viral RNA. Therefore, it is likely that direct infection of megakaryocytes with HIV-1 is one mechanism for the decrease in platelet production.
