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

C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) is one of the co-receptors of HIV found on the surface of the target cell and studied as genetic factors known to be associated with HIV infection. This study investigates the influence of mothers' and children's CCR2 polymorphism on HIV acquisition in children. A cross-sectional study was performed in five hospitals in the Northern Region of Cameroon. Blood samples were collected from HIV-infected mothers and their exposed babies. DNA was extracted from the Buffy coat using the QIAamp®DNA mini kit (Qiagen). The DNA extract was subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) followed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) was verified. A total of 113 HIV-positive mothers, and their 113 children (25 infected and 88 non-infected) under 15 years were enrolled. There was a significant relationship between mothers and children's polymorphisms (P = 0.000). There was a concordance of 57.5% between mothers and children genotypes (Kappa = 0.2, P = 0.001). Mothers carrying the
