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

Two chimeric proviruses comprising the U3 promoter and the nef gene of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) smmPBj1.9 in addition to other genomic regions of SIVagm3mc from African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) were constructed. The derived chimeric viruses (SIVagm3mc/SIVsmmPBj1.9) were both able to replicate in nonstimulated peripheral blood leukocytes from pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina), a biological property often correlated with acute pathogenicity. However, only one of the chimeric viruses was acutely pathogenic, inducing a rapid depletion of the peripheral CD4+ T cells in two infected pig-tailed macaques within 10 days after infection in a manner similar to infection with SIVsmmPBj1.9 itself. The other chimeric virus actively replicated during the first 8 weeks after experimental infection of two pig-tailed macaques but induced neither acute disease nor CD4+ T-cell depletion for 113 weeks after infection. Thus, the U3 promoter and the nef gene of SIVsmmPBj1.9 alone appear to be insufficient to confer acute pathogenicity to SIVagm3mc.
