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

Maintaining the efficacy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) medications is challenging among children because of dosing difficulties, the limited number of approved drugs, and low rates of medication adherence. Drug level feedback (DLF) can support dose optimization and timely interventions to prevent treatment failure, but current tests are heavily instrumented and centralized. We developed the REverse transcriptase ACTivity crispR (REACTR) for rapid measurement of HIV drugs based on the extent of DNA synthesis by HIV reverse transcriptase. CRISPR-Cas enzymes bind to the synthesized DNA, triggering collateral cleavage of quenched reporters and generating fluorescence. We measured azidothymidine triphosphate (AZT-TP), a key drug in pediatric HIV treatment, and investigated the impact of assay time and DNA template length on REACTR's sensitivity. REACTR selectively measured clinically relevant AZT-TP concentrations in the presence of genomic DNA and peripheral blood mononuclear cell lysate. REACTR has the potential to enable rapid point-of-care HIV DLF to improve pediatric HIV care.
