Longitudinal characterization of HIV-1 pol-gene in treatment-naïve men-who-have-sex-with-men from acute to chronic infection stages.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
HIV-1 is characterized by its ability to mutate and recombine even at polymerase (pol) gene. However, pol-gene diversity is limited due to functional constraints. The aim of this study was to characterize longitudinally, by next-generation sequencing (NGS), HIV-1 variants based on pol-gene sequences, at intra- and inter-host level, from acute/early to chronic stages of infection, in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. Ten men who have sex with men (MSM) were recruited during primary infection and yearly followed for five years. Even after a maximum of a five-year follow-up period, the phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1 pol-gene sequences showed a host-defined structured pattern, with a predominance of purifying selection forces during the follow-up. MSM had been acutely infected by different HIV-1 variants mainly ascribed to pure subtype B, or BF recombinant variants and showed different genetic mosaicism patterns that last until the chronic stage, representing a major challenge for prevention strategies.
