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 recent emergence of new HIV-1 recombinant strains presents a new challenge to the control of HIV-1/AIDS and the development of an effective vaccine. We employed a near full-length genomic sequence analysis of a newly identified CRF85_BC recombinant strain in Ningxia, China, to determine its recombination pattern. Blood samples were collected from HIV-infected or AIDS patients in Ningxia in 2023. CRF85_BC subtype strains were detected from three samples using an in-house method, and one sample's near full-length genome sequence was also obtained. MEGA11, jpHMM, and Simplot software were used to identify subtypes and analyze recombination patterns. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree analysis showed that HIV-1 pol region sequences of three samples were CRF85_BC subtypes. One near full-length genome sequence of the recombinant strain was obtained, and jpHMM preliminarily judged that the recombinant strain was inserted with two subtype B fragments and two CRF01_AE fragments based on subtype C as the backbone. Further analysis using Simplot software revealed that the recombinant strain was the second-generation recombinant strain of CRF85_BC and CRF01_AE, and the recombination mode was based on the full-length genome of CRF85_BC, and CRF01_AE gene fragments that were inserted at positions 7365-8279 and 8431-9492, respectively. The results of the fragment phylogenetic tree verified its accuracy. One CRF01_AE and CRF85_BC second-generation recombinant strain was found in HIV-1 infected people in Ningxia, indicating that new HIV-1 recombinant strains continuously emerge and circulate in this region. Genomic surveillance of these recombinants should inform targeted interventions, such as prioritized contact tracing, to mitigate the formation of transmission clusters.
