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

With its high degree of conservation and critical role in multiple steps of the HIV-1 life cycle, the HIV-1 capsid protein presents an attractive therapeutic target. Herein, the virologic properties of the HIV-1 capsid inhibitors VH4004280 (VH-280) and VH4011499 (VH-499), including potency, mechanisms of action, and resistance profiles, are described. VH-280 and VH-499 inhibited panels of HIV-1 laboratory strains and viruses containing capsid sequences from clinical isolates with half-maximal effective concentrations in the picomolar range. Time-of-addition experiments determined that the primary block to HIV-1 replication occurred after nuclear import and before integration; however, measurements of replication intermediates by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Gag degradation, p24 release, and virion morphology by cryo-electron microscopy indicate that VH-280 and VH-499 also block nuclear import, total reverse transcript production, integration, virion assembly, and maturation.
