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 infection is controlled but not eradicated by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), and persistence during therapy represents a substantial barrier to strategies to eradicate infection. The nature of persistence is uncertain, and a number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain HIV persistence in vivo, including low-level HIV replication, sanctuary sites for HIV-infected cells, and latent HIV residing within long-lived cells. Analysis of residual viraemia and of cell-associated HIV revealed evidence of multiple copies of identical HIV sequences suggesting infected cells can undergo cellular expansion. Recently, analysis of integration sites in HIV-infected cells derived from peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients undergoing long-term cART revealed direct evidence that HIV-infected cells undergo clonal expansion. These studies demonstrated that clonally expanded populations are common in HIV-infected individuals, persist for prolonged periods and increase in frequency during prolonged therapy. Several analyses reported that site of integration may affect persistence, clonal expansion, or both. As such, expanded populations may represent an important source of infectious HIV during cART. Many HIV integrants are defective for replication, however, and additional research is essential to determine to what degree clonally expanded populations represent a reservoir of replication-competent HIV.
