Emergence of two novel HIV-1 Circulating Recombinant Forms (CRF190_0708 and CRF191_0708): molecular characterization and clinical insights from a five-year study in Yunnan, China.
Trial report in BMC microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03852849 (Cohort Study on Appropriate Strategies of The Rapid Build of HIV Related Protective Barriers in Yunnan, China), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTo characterize HIV-1 molecular epidemiology and identify novel circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) among antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve heterosexuals in Yunnan, China, and evaluate their clinical impact.
methodsThis study examined 636 HIV-1 pol sequences to analyze genetic diversity, pretreatment drug resistance (PDR), and transmission networks. Near full-length genomes were obtained to identify and characterize novel recombinants, with their evolutionary history inferred by Bayesian analysis. Co-receptor tropism was predicted, and the five-year clinical outcomes (including immune reconstitution and virologic response) of patients infected with the novel CRFs were compared.
resultsThe most prevalent type identified was CRF08_BC, accounting for 50.16% of cases. The prevalence of drug resistance was 5.97% (38/636), with the K103N mutation being the most common. An analysis of transmission networks revealed that 52.2% (272/521) of clusters were associated with CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC. Two novel second-generation CRFs were identified: CRF190_0708, with an estimated time to the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of 1998.9, and CRF191_0708, with a more recent tMRCA ranging from 2009.5 to 2011.6. During the five-year follow-up period, viral rebound was observed in 7 patients in the CRF190_0708 group and in 1 patient in the CRF191_0708 group. Drug-resistance mutations (M184V and K103N) were detected in a subset of rebound cases in the CRF190_0708 group.
conclusionsThis study identifies two novel HIV-1 recombinants, CRF190_0708 and CRF191_0708, highlighting ongoing viral evolution in Yunnan. Preliminary findings suggest possible clinical differences, warranting further investigation. Continued molecular surveillance is needed.
