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

Immune cell accumulation and white matter anomaly are common features of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) -infected patients in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) era. Neuroimaging tests on cART treated patients displayed prominent diffuse white matter lesions. Notably, immune cell nodular lesion (NL) was a conspicuous type of pathological change in HIV/SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) infected brain before cART. Therefore, we used SIV infected brain to investigate the distribution of those NLs in gray and white matters. We found a significant higher number of NLs in white matter than that in gray matter. However, virus infection correlated with macrophage NLs but not with microglia NLs, especially in white matter. In addition, NLs interrupted white matter integrity more severely, since even tiny nodules could disconnect nerve fibers in white matter tracts. In the gray matter with dense myelinated axons, NLs obviously encroached those fibers; in the area of few myelinated axons, small nodules well co-localized with extracellular matrix between neurons.
