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

Conventional HIV gene therapy approaches are based on engineering HIV target cells that are non-permissive to viral replication. However, expansion of gene-modified HIV target cells has been limited in patients. Alternative genetic strategies focus on generating gene-modified producer cells that secrete antiviral proteins (AVPs). The secreted AVPs interfere with HIV entry, and, therefore, they extend the protection against infection to unmodified HIV target cells. Since any cell type can potentially secrete AVPs, hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell lineages can function as producer cells. Secretion of AVPs from non-hematopoietic cells opens the possibility of using a genetic approach for HIV prevention. Another strategy aims at modifying cytotoxic T cells to selectively target and eliminate infected cells. This review provides an overview of the different genetic approaches for HIV treatment and prevention.
