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

In vivo studies in monkeys and humans have indicated that immunodeficiency viruses with Nef deleted are nonpathogenic in immunocompetent hosts, and this has motivated a search for live attenuated vaccine candidates. However, the mechanisms of action of Nef remain elusive. To define the regions of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Nef which mediate in vivo pathogenicity, a series of mutated isogenic viruses were inoculated into human thymic implants in SCID-hu mice. Mutation of several regions, including the myristoylation site at the second glycine and a region encompassing amino acids 41 through 49 of Nef, profoundly affected pathogenicity. Surprisingly, mutations of prolines in either of the two distant PXXP SH3 binding domains did not affect pathogenicity, indicating that these regions are not required for Nef activity in developing T-lineage cells. These data suggest that some functions of Nef described in vitro may not be relevant for in vivo pathogenicity.
