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

backgroundTianjin, a major hub in northern China, faces rising HIV-1 infections dominated by CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC. This study elucidated their divergent transmission patterns and drug resistance dynamics to guide targeted interventions.

methodsThis study included samples identified as CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC subtypes through various methods between 2013 and 2022. BEAST software was used to examine the spatiotemporal transmission patterns of these subtypes in Tianjin. By integrating HIV-TRACE, we constructed high-risk transmission clusters and identified drug resistance mutations (DRMs) based on the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database. Finally, the birth-death skyline serial (BDSKY) model was employed to dynamically assess the effective reproductive number (Re) of both subtypes to predict future transmission dynamics.

resultsCRF01_AE might be introduced in 1988 from Henan and Zhejiang, forming multiple small clusters (< 10 nodes) and spreading through both heterosexual and men who have sex with men (MSM) in Tianjin, while CRF07_BC from Chongqing and Guizhou, et al. in 2004, experiencing explosive local transmission and forming a large cluster of 170 nodes primarily among MSM under 30 years old (P < 0.05). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that CRF01_AE has a significantly higher evolutionary rate (2.08 × 10⁻

conclusionSubtype-specific strategies are critical: intensified resistance monitoring for CRF01_AE and cluster-focused interventions for CRF07_BC, particularly among young MSM.
