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

objectiveThe current study aimed to understand epidemiological feature and critical factors associated with pathogenesis of circulating recombinant form (CRF) 01_AE strains in Northeast China.

designCompared analysis was made between CRF01_AE and non-CRF01_AE samples to understand the pathogenicity features of CRF01_AE. Further analyses between CRF01_AE samples with high or low CD4 cell counts and between samples with different coreceptor usages were done to explore the possible factors correlating to the pathogenesis of CRF01_AE viruses.

methodsThe genotypes of newly identified strains were determined by phylogenetic analyses using Mega 6.06. Coreceptor usage was predicted by Geno2Pheno algorithm. Potential N-linked glycosylation site (PNGS) number was calculated using the online N-glycosite software. The properties of amino acid sequences were analyzed by the online ProtParam tool.

resultsCRF01_AE become the main HIV-1 genotype since 2010. Compared with non-CRF01_AE group, the CRF01_AE group showed a higher proportion of samples with CD4 cell count less than 200 cells/μl. Shorter amino acid length, fewer PNGSs and the presence of a basic motif R/KNXT or NR/KT in V4 correlated to a lower CD4 cell count, and existence or coexistence of Thr12, Arg13, Val21 and Lys33, presence of more than 4 of net charges and lack of the PNGS within V3 favored to the X4/R5X4 coreceptor usage of CRF01_AE viruses.

conclusionCRF01_AE has dominated HIV-1 genotype in Northeast China. Infection with CRF01_AE exhibited a fast disease progression, which may be associated with specific amino acid residues and PNGSs in V3 and V4 regions as well as amino acid length of V4 region.
