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

Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) require intracellular phosphorylation to active triphosphate (TP) nucleotide metabolites before they can inhibit the HIV reverse transcriptase. However, monitoring these pharmacologically active TP metabolites is challenging due to their instability and their low concentrations at the pg/ml levels in blood and tissues. The combination of lamivudine (3TC) and abacavir (ABC) is one of the first lines for HIV therapy. Therefore, a sensitive, selective, accurate, and precise LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of 3TC- and ABC-TP metabolites in mouse blood and tissues. Calibration curves were linear over the range of 10-100,000 pg/ml for 3TC-TP and 4-40,000 pg/ml for carbovir-TP (CBV-TP; phosphorylated metabolite of ABC). This corresponds to 2.1-21,322 fmol/10
