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 Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) establishes a latent reservoir early in infection that is resistant to the host immune response and treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The best understood of these reservoirs forms in resting CD4(+) T cells. While it remains unclear how reservoirs form, a popular model holds that the virus can only integrate in activated CD4(+) T cells. Contrary to this model, our previous results suggest that HIV-1 can integrate directly into the genomes of resting CD4(+) T cells. However, a limitation of our previous studies was that they were conducted at high viral inoculum and these conditions may lead to cellular activation or saturation of restriction factors. In the present study, we tested if our previous findings were an artifact of high inoculum. To do this, we enhanced the sensitivity of our integration assay by incorporating a repetitive sampling technique that allowed us to capture rare integration events that occur near an Alu repeat. The new technique represents a significant advance as it enabled us to measure integration accurately down to 1 provirus/well in 15,000 genomes--a 40-fold enhancement over our prior assay. Using this assay, we demonstrate that HIV can integrate into resting CD4(+) T cells in vitro even at low viral inoculum. These findings suggest there is no threshold number of virions required for HIV to integrate into resting CD4(+) T cells.
