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

backgroundHIV latent infection can be established in vitro by treating resting CD4 T cells with chemokines that bind to chemokine receptors (CKR), CCR7, CXCR3, and CCR6, highly expressed on T cells.

objectiveTo determine if CKR identify CD4 T cells enriched for HIV in HIV-infected individuals receiving suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART).

designA cross-sectional study of CKR expression and HIV persistence in blood from HIV-infected individuals on suppressive ART for more than 3 years (n = 48). A subset of 20 individuals underwent leukapheresis and sorting of specific CD4 T-cell subsets.

methodsWe used flow cytometry to quantify CCR5, CCR6, CXCR3, and CXCR5 expression on CD4 T cells. HIV persistence was quantified using real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction to detect total, integrated HIV DNA, 2-long terminal repeat circles and cell-associated unspliced (CA-US) HIV RNA in total CD4 T cells from blood or sorted T-cell subsets. Associations between CKR and HIV persistence in CD4 T cells in blood were determined using regression models and adjusted for current and nadir CD4 T-cell counts.

resultsThe frequency of cells harbouring integrated HIV DNA was inversely associated with current CD4 T-cell count and positively associated with CCR5+ CD4 T cells, CXCR3+CCR6+ and CXCR3+CCR6- expression on total memory CD4 T cells (P < 0.001, 0.048, 0.015, and 0.016, respectively). CXCR3+CCR6+ CM CD4 T cells contained the highest amount of integrated HIV DNA and lowest ratio of CA-US HIV RNA to DNA compared to all T-cell subsets examined.

conclusionCXCR3 and CCR6 coexpression defines a subset of CD4 T cells that are preferentially enriched for HIV DNA in HIV-infected individuals on ART.
