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

backgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a global health burden which ultimately results in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). There are multiple host factors which are capable of limiting HIV-1 replication. One of the most important host factors which inhibit HIV-1 DNA synthesis is the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide- like 3G (APOBEC3G). Any genetic variation of this important host factor may influence the host susceptibility to viral infection.

objectiveThe aim of the current study was to evaluate any correlation of APOBEC3G genetic variation rs8177832 with HIV-1 infection.

methodsThe study involved 142 healthy control and 100 HIV-1 infected subjects. The genetic variation rs8177832 of all studied subjects was determined by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR).

resultsThe results showed that the distribution of rs8177832 genotypes AA, AG and GG in healthy subjects and HIV-1 subjects was; 42.253%, 42.957%, 14.788% and 66%, 27%, 7% respectively. Statistical analyses of data showed that there was a significant variation in rs8177832 genotype AA in healthy control and HIV-1 infected subjects (42.257% vs 66%; p-value<0.001).

conclusionThus it was concluded that APOBEC3G rs8177832 AA genotype contributes in genetic predisposition to HIV-1 infection in Pakistani population.
