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

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), comprising two distinct types, HIV-1 and HIV-2, remains one of the most significant global health challenges, originating from multiple cross-species transmissions of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) in the early 20th century. This review traces the evolutionary trajectory of HIV from zoonotic spillover to its establishment as a global pandemic. HIV-1, the principal strain responsible for AIDS, emerged from SIVcpz in Central African chimpanzees, with phylogenetic evidence indicating initial human transmission between the 1920s and 1940s in present day Democratic Republic of Congo. The virus disseminated through colonial trade networks, reaching the Caribbean by the 1960s before establishing endemic transmission in North America and Europe. HIV's extraordinary genetic diversity-driven by high mutation rates (~10
