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

CCR5 is the chemokine co-receptor for R5-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates most often associated with primary infection. We have developed an HIV-1 self-inactivating vector, CAD-R5, containing a CCR5 single-chain antibody (intrabody) gene, which when expressed in T-cell lines and primary CD4+ T cells disrupts CCR5 cell surface expression and provides protection from R5-tropic isolate exposure. Furthermore, CAD-R5 intrabody expression in primary CD4+ T cells supports significant growth and enrichment over time during HIV-1-pulsed dendritic cell-T-cell interactions. These results indicate that CCR5 intrabody-expressing CD4+ T cells are refractory against this highly efficient primary route of infection. CD34+ cells transduced with the CAD-R5 vector gave rise to CD4+ and CD8+ thymocytes in non-obese diabetic (NOD)/ severely combined-immunodeficient (SCID)-human thymus/liver (hu thy/liv) mice, suggesting that CCR5 intrabody expression can be maintained throughout differentiation without obvious cellular effects. CD4+ T cells isolated from NOD/SCID-hu thy/liv mice were resistant to R5-tropic HIV-1 challenge demonstrating the maintenance of protection. Our findings demonstrate delivery of anti-HIV-1 activity through CCR5 intrabodies in primary CD4+ T cells and CD34+ cell-derived T-cell progeny. Thus, gene delivery strategies that provide a selective survival and growth advantage for T effector cells may provide a therapeutic benefit for HIV-1-infected individuals who have failed conventional therapies.
