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

In Korea, subtype B is the predominant variant of HIV-1, but full genome sequencing and analysis of its viral variants are lacking. We performed near full-length genome (NFLG) sequencing and phylogenetic and recombination analyses of fifty plasma samples from HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) from a Korea HIV/AIDS cohort study. Viral genomes were amplified and the near-full-length sequences were determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing. We focused on the HIV-1 subtype classification and identification of HIV recombinants. Twelve HIV-1 NFLGs were determined: ten were subtyped as pure HIV-1 subtype B and two recombinant strains as a common subtype CRF07_BC, and a novel subtype CRF43_02G recombined with CRF02_AG again, or a new CRF02_AG and subtype G recombinant. For the ten NFLGs determined by NGS, "the novel recombinant emerged at approximately 2003 and the other nine subtype B about 2004 or 2005". This is the first report analyzing HIV-1 NFLG, including recombinants and clinical characteristics, by subtype among MSM in Korea. Our results provide novel insights for understanding the recombinants in the HIV-1 epidemic in Korea.
