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

The combination of three or more antiviral agents that act on different targets is known as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which is widely used to control HIV infection. However, because drug resistance and adverse effects occur after long-term administration, an increasing number of HIV/AIDS patients do not tolerate HAART. It is necessary to continue developing novel anti-HIV drugs, particularly HIV entry/fusion inhibitors. Our group previously identified a small-molecule compound, NB-64, with weak anti-HIV activity. Here, we found that N-substituted pyrrole derivative 12m (NSPD-12m), which was derived from NB-64, had strong anti-HIV-1 activity, and NSPD-12m-treated cells showed good viability. The mechanism of action of NSPD-12m might be targeting the gp41 transmembrane subunit of the HIV envelope glycoprotein, thus inhibiting HIV entry. Site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that a positively charged lysine residue (K574) located in the gp41 pocket region is pivotal for the binding of NSPD-12m to gp41. These findings suggest that NSPD-12m can serve as a lead compound to develop novel virus entry inhibitors.
