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

The ability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to replicate in the presence of strong immune responses to the virus may be due to its high mutation rate, which provides envelope gene variability for selection of neutralization-resistant variants. Understanding neutralization escape mechanisms is therefore important for the design of HIV-1 vaccines and our understanding of the disease process. In this report, we analyze mutations at amino acid positions 281 and 582 in the HIV-1 envelope, where substitutions confer resistance to broadly reactive neutralizing antisera from seropositive individuals. Neither of these mutations lies within an antibody-binding site, and therefore the mechanism of immune escape in both cases is by alteration of the shape of the envelope proteins. The conformation of the CD4-binding site is shown to be critical with regard to presentation of other discontinuous epitopes. From our analysis of the neutralization of these variants, we conclude that escape from polyclonal sera occurs through alterations at several different epitopes, generally resulting from single amino acid substitutions which influence envelope conformation. Experiments on a double mutant showed that the combination of both mutations is not additive, suggesting that these variants utilized alternate pathways to elicit similar alterations of the HIV-1 envelope structure.
