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

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 plays a key role in innate and adaptive immunity for HIV-1 infection. We evaluated the effect of TLR7 polymorphisms on disease susceptibility and progression of HIV-1 infection in Chinese MSM (men who have sex with men). Blood samples were taken from 270 patients with laboratory confirmed HIV infection, 196 male controls were tested, and three TLR7 intronic polymorphisms (rs179010-C > T, X:12884766; rs2074109-T > C, X:12885330; and rs179009-A > G, X:12885361) were analyzed by PCR-based sequencing. The frequency of TLR7 rs179010 T allele was significantly lower in MSM patients than in controls (P = 0.039). The haplotype TTA was associated with a decreased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection (P = 0.013), especially to acute HIV-1 infection (AHI) (P = 0.002), but not to chronic HIV-1 infection (CHI). Furthermore, the haplotype TTA is linked to slow disease progression in AHI patients (P = 0.002) and a lower viral load (P = 0.042). In contrast, TLR7 rs179009 allele A contributed to a higher set point in AHI patients with rapid progression, and the frequency of rs179009 minor allele G was over-presented in CHI patients. This finding supports a role for genetic variations of TLR7 in susceptibility and disease progression of an HIV-1 infection in Chinese Han population and warrants further studies on the effect of TLR7 polymorphisms on HIV-1 infection in different populations.
