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-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are preferentially primed for apoptosis, and this may represent a viral escape mechanism. We hypothesized that HIV-infected individuals that control virus to undetectable levels without antiretroviral therapy (ART) (elite controllers [EC]) have the capacity to upregulate survival factors that allow them to resist apoptosis. To address this, we performed cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of proapoptotic (cleaved caspase-3) and antiapoptotic (Bcl-2) markers of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and HIV-specific CD8 T cells in a cohort of HIV-infected subjects with various degrees of viral control on and off ART. We demonstrated that HIV-specific CTL from EC are more resistant to apoptosis than those with pharmacologic control (successfully treated patients [ST]), despite similar in vivo conditions. Longitudinal analysis of chronically infected persons starting ART revealed that the frequency of HIV-specific T cells prone to death decreased, suggesting that this phenotype is partially reversible even though it never achieves the levels present in EC. Elucidating the apoptotic factors contributing to the survival of CTL in EC is paramount to our development of effective HIV-1 vaccines. Furthermore, a better understanding of cellular markers that can be utilized to predict response durability in disease- or vaccine-elicited responses will advance the field.
