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

Background: Aim of the Study: The identification of extracts and compounds of this species, which have HIV-1 latency-reversing activity in J-Lat T cell lines. Methods: The stem bark was obtained, air-dried, powdered, and extracted using dichloromethane. In vitro flow cytometry was used to monitor GFP expression, a marker of HIV latency reversal, following treatment of J-Lat T cells with extracts and compounds. Results: Four extracts were found to reverse HIV latency, the most active extract showing better activity (ie, latency reversal in 69.7 ± 7.1% [mean ± s.e.m.] of J-Lat 10.6 cells at 1 µg/mL) than control agents prostratin (46.2 ± 9.5% at 1.2 µg.mL) and the "Mukungulu" ( Conclusion: The plant extracts and compounds reverse HIV latency through mechanisms additional to PKC activation and/or synergize with romidepsin in vitro. Extracts and compounds from this plant may enhance the activity of current HIV latency-reversing agents being assessed in HIV cure studies.
