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

HIV-1 envelope (env) glycoprotein mediates an important role in entry of the virus into the susceptible target cells. As env glycoprotein of HIV-1 is highly variable in the different geographical regions, in the present study, different properties of this protein in Iran are compared with five nearby countries. The sequences of HIV-1 env glycoproteins of Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia databases were collected from databases. Amino acid composition and physical and chemical properties of the proteins from these countries were studied using Protparam and COPid tools. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were used to evaluate association between the properties of HIV-1 env glycoprotein of Iran with five nearby countries. The results verify that amino acid composition and four physical and chemical properties (molecular weight, isoelectric point, Aliphatic Index, and grand average of hydropathicity) of HIV-1 env protein in Iran and Russia were not significantly different. In conclusion, the results indicate that in silico techniques provide valuable information for comparing HIV-1 envelop glycoprotein in different geographical locations.
