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

Immunologically cross-reactive proteins in the human brain that resemble the V3 loop of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120 have been identified. When several homogenized tissues from normal brains were used, a monoclonal antibody raised against amino acids 308 to 320 of the V3 loop reacted with three prominent human brain proteins (HBP) of 35, 55, and 110 kDa. Among the three, the 55-kDa HBP appears to be specific to the central nervous system. These results indicate that the V3 loop of HIV-1 gp120 shares an epitope with HBP. An immune response to the V3 loop that generates cross-reactive antibodies to cellular proteins may be an autoimmune mechanism by which HIV-1 can damage the central nervous system.
