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

HIV-1 latency poses a major barrier to viral eradication. Canonically, latency is thought to arise from progressive epigenetic silencing of active infections. However, little is known about when and how long terminal repeat (LTR)-silent infections arise since the majority of the current latency models cannot differentiate between initial (LTR-silent) and secondary (progressive silencing) latency. In this study, we constructed and characterized a novel, double-labeled HIV-1 vector (Red-Green-HIV-1 [RGH]) that allows for detection of infected cells independently of LTR activity. Infection of Jurkat T cells and other cell lines with RGH suggests that the majority of integrated proviruses were LTR-silent early postinfection. Furthermore, the LTR-silent infections were transcriptionally competent, as the proviruses could be reactivated by a variety of T cell signaling agonists. Moreover, we used the double-labeled vector system to compare LTRs from seven different subtypes with respect to LTR silencing and reactivation. These experiments indicated that subtype D and F LTRs were more sensitive to silencing, whereas the subtype AE LTR was largely insensitive. Lastly, infection of activated human primary CD4(+) T cells yielded LTR-silent as well as productive infections. Taken together, our data, generated using the newly developed RGH vector as a sensitive tool to analyze HIV-1 latency on a single-cell level, show that the majority of HIV-1 infections are latent early postinfection.
