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

The treatment of HIV-1 infection and AIDS represents one of the greatest challenges in medicine. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, truly remarkable progress has been made for treatment of HIV/AIDS patients today. The advent of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in the mid-1990s dramatically improved HIV-1 related morbidity, greatly prolonged life expectancy, and delayed progression of AIDS. Due to current antiretroviral therapy, the mortality rate for HIV infected patients is closely approaching the mortality rate for the general population. The long-term success of HIV-AIDS treatment requires continued enhancement of cART with further development of novel drugs that would exhibit fewer side effects, higher genetic barrier to the development of resistance, and longer action with durable virologic suppression. This editorial article provides a quick review of four decades of intense drug development research efforts targeting various viral enzymes and cellular host factors leading to the evolution of today's treatment of patients with HIV-1 infection and AIDS. It also touches on challenges of future treatment options.
