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

Current research on antiretroviral therapy is mainly focused in the development of new formulations or combinations of drugs belonging to already known targets. However, HIV-1 infection is not cured by current therapy and thus, new approaches are needed. Bevirimat was developed by chemical modification of betulinic acid, a lupane-type pentacyclic triterpenoid (LPT), as a first-in-class HIV-1 maturation inhibitor. However, in clinical trials, bevirimat showed less activity than expected because of the presence of a natural mutation in Gag protein that conferred resistance to a high proportion of HIV-1 strains. In this work, three HIV-1 inhibitors selected from a set of previously screened LPTs were investigated for their targets in the HIV-1 replication cycle, including their maturation inhibitor effect. LPTs were found to inhibit HIV-1 infection acting as promiscuous compounds with several targets in the HIV-1 replication cycle. LPT12 inhibited HIV-1 infection mainly through reverse transcription, integration, viral transcription, viral proteins (Gag) production and maturation inhibition. LPT38 did it through integration, viral transcription or Gag production inhibition and finally, LPT42 inhibited reverse transcription, viral transcription or Gag production. The three LPTs inhibited HIV-1 infection of human primary lymphocytes and infections with protease inhibitors and bevirimat resistant HIV-1 variants with similar values of IC
