Gene transfer of two entry inhibitors protects CD4⁺ T cell from HIV-1 infection in humanized mice.
Article in Gene therapy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Targeting viral entry is the most likely gene therapy strategy to succeed in protecting the immune system from pathogenic HIV-1 infection. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of a gene transfer lentiviral vector expressing a combination of viral entry inhibitors, the C46 peptide (an inhibitor of viral fusion) and the P2-CCL5 intrakine (a modulator of CCR5 expression), to prevent CD4⁺ T-cell infection in vivo. For this, we used two different models of HIV-1-infected mice, one in which ex vivo genetically modified human T cells were grafted into immunodeficient NOD.SCID.γc⁻/⁻mice before infection and one in which genetically modified T cells were derived from CD34⁺ hematopoietic progenitors grafted few days after birth. Expression of the transgenes conferred a major selective advantage to genetically modified CD4⁺ T cells, the frequency of which could increase from 10 to 90% in the blood following HIV-1 infection. Moreover, these cells resisted HIV-1-induced depletion, contrary to non-modified cells that were depleted in the same mice. Finally, we report lower normalized viral loads in mice having received genetically modified progenitors. Altogether, our study documents that targeting viral entry in vivo is a promising avenue for the future of HIV-1 gene therapy in humans.
