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

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic disease condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The widespread availability of highly active antiretroviral therapies has helped to control HIV. There are ten FDA-approved protease inhibitors (PIs) that are used as part of antiretroviral therapies in HIV treatment. Importantly, all these drugs are designed and developed against the protease (PR) from HIV subtype B. On the other hand, HIV-1 PR subtype C, which is the most dominant strain in countries including South Africa and India, has shown resistance to PIs due to its genetic diversity and varied mutations. The emergence of resistance is concerning because the virus continues to replicate despite treatment; hence, it is necessary to develop drugs specifically against subtype C. This review focuses on the origin, genetic diversity, and mutations associated with HIV-1 PR subtype C. Furthermore, computational studies performed on HIV-1 PR subtype C and mutations associated with its resistance to PIs are highlighted. Moreover, potential research gaps and future directions in the study of HIV-1 PR subtype C are discussed.
