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

purpose of reviewTo review current knowledge about the impact of long-term combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) on HIV reservoirs. RECENT

findingsThe number of HIV-infected cells that persist during long-term antiretroviral therapy is associated with the stage of HIV infection at the time of treatment initiation. Initiation of cART reduces the number of infected cells over the first 4 years of therapy, but thereafter there is no further decline despite long-term effective cART. The remarkable stability of infected cell numbers is likely due to a balance among homeostatic or antigen-driven proliferation of infected memory T-cells subsets, clonal expansion of a subset of infected cells as a consequence of specific retroviral integration sites, and death of other infected cells. At present, there is no effective means of accelerating the decay of infected cells in individuals initiated on cART during chronic HIV infection. SUMMARY: Given the stability and difficulty in eliminating HIV-infected cells, early initiation of cART in treatment-naïve HIV-infected patients is currently the most effective way to limit the size and diversity of HIV reservoirs.
