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

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is responsible for reverse transcription of viral single-stranded RNA to double-stranded DNA, which plays an important role in the replication cycle of HIV-1 and has been identified as a key target for anti-HIV-1 drug discovery. Among HIV-1 RT inhibitors, allosteric inhibitors acting on non-catalytic sites have the advantages of high efficiency and low cytotoxicity, which are the focus of the research on anti-HIV-1 inhibitors. Great progress has been achieved in the structural biology of HIV-1 RT, which significantly facilitated the development of RT allosteric inhibitors. Herein, we provided a detailed review of the co-crystal structures of small molecule allosteric inhibitors in complex with RT reported in the last decade. Moreover, the strategies to discover novel and efficient inhibitors based on co-crystal structures have also been discussed, expecting to provide a reference for the development of the next-generation anti-HIV-1 drugs.
