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

Millions of individuals currently living with HIV globally are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) that suppresses viral replication and improves host immune responses. The involvement of gut microbiome during HIV infection has been studied, exposing correlation with immune status and inflammation. However, the direct effect of ART on gut commensals of HIV-infected individuals has been mostly overlooked in microbiome studies. We used 16S rRNA sequencing (Illumina MiSeq) for determining the microbiota composition of stool samples from 16 viremic patients before and one year after ART. We also tested the direct effect of 15 antiretrovirals against four gut microbes, namely,
