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

Human thymocytes are readily infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in vivo and in vitro. In this study, we found that the kinetics of replication and cytopathic effects of two molecular isolates, NL4-3 and JR-CSF, in postnatal thymocytes are best explained by the distribution of chemokine receptors used for viral entry. CXCR4 was expressed at high levels on most thymocytes, whereas CCR5 expression was restricted to only 0.1 to 2% of thymocytes. The difference in the amount of proviral DNA detected after infection of fresh thymocytes with NL4-3 or JR-CSF correlated with the levels of CXCR4 and CCR5 surface expression. Anti-CCR5 blocking studies showed that low levels of CCR5 were necessary and sufficient for JR-CSF entry in thymocytes. Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, and IL-7, cytokines normally present in the thymus, influenced the expression of CXCR4 and CCR5 on thymocytes and thus increased the infectivity and spread of both NL4-3 and JR-CSF in culture. NL4-3 was produced by both immature and mature thymocytes, whereas JR-CSF production was restricted to the mature CD1(-)/CD69(+) population. Although CXCR4 and CCR5 distribution readily explained viral entry in mature CD69(+) and immature CD69(-) cells, and correlated with proviral DNA distribution, we found that viral production was favored in CD69(+) cells. Therefore, while expression of CD4 and appropriate coreceptors are essential determinants of viral entry, factors related to activation and stage-specific maturation contribute to HIV-1 replication in thymocyte subsets. These results have direct implications for HIV-1 pathogenesis in pediatric patients.
